Needs a new edition,
By
This review is from: A Counselor's Guide to Birth Parent Loss and Grief in Adoption (Saying Goodbye to a Baby Vol. 2) (Paperback)
I was hoping for good things from this booklet, as I am always looking for good material to help birth parents through the painful process of adoption. I appreciate that it's short, but I was disappointed because it was clearly written without open adoption in mind. The language is outdated and surprisingly not adoption-friendly, using terms that I avoid like the plague. If a new edition comes out, I'll try it again, but until then I don't use it with my clients.

KEEP YOUR BABY,
By
This review is from: A Counselor's Guide to Birth Parent Loss and Grief in Adoption (Saying Goodbye to a Baby Vol. 2) (Paperback)
A mother who surrenders her baby for adoption NEVER gets over the loss. In fact the pain gets worse with time and expecially after reunion. Mothers experience Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Disenfranchised Grief and the children suffer from Attachment Disorders. Adoption is a 5 bil unregulated industry in the US with the babies being the commodities and the mothers being exploited for their babies. Adoption is NOT a "loving option" keeping your baby is. 80% of open adoptions close after 3 months of the adoption finalizing. Do not let anyone convince, coerce or brainwash you into signing those papers you will regret it for the rest of your life.
