As a prospective adoptive parent, I had hoped to find a unique perspective given from that of the adopted child. Instead I found a book filled with apparent regret and loss on the part of the adoptee. If you are looking for a positive light in which to view adoption, I would choose another source. If I hadn't been as well informed about adoption and seen the benefits and wonderful relationships that can come from adoptive experiences, I would be very wary of entering the adoption triad.
