Media Reviews

"This is a fine addition to our growing understanding of adoption and its impact on the lives of all persons involved in it."    -- Kay Donley

"A vital and important book, which is a delight to read. The authors bring together an enormous fund of knowledge based on research and extensive years of clinical experience, to address the special hurdles for adoptees to manage throughout the life span. Adoptees, adoptive parents, professionals, and others interested in adoption will find it engaging, thought-provoking, and useful."    -- Trudy Festinger

"'Being Adopted' provides a unique understanding of how adoption is truly a life course experience. This book is must reading for all members of the adoption triad and the general public, lay and professional."    -- Dirck Brown

"This illuminating book should help- and comfort- adoptees, adoptive parents and others who search for their identity."

   -- Publishers Weekly

"Being Adopted" can help adoptees recognize that their sense of loss-and their anger, too-is natural, and is shared by other adoptees."
