2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed,
By Michael Madison (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reconnections (Paperback)
I had great hopes for this book. Upon reading it, however, I was grossly disappointed. Too many cliches, poor grammar, a limited vocabulary, and a disconnected theme all detract from what might be a very nice story. Get a new editor!

This is a book about adoption,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reconnections (Paperback)
The subject description that I see listed for this book is WRONG at this time! This book is actually about: "Mary Bradford Clark, the author, is an adoptee. She gives birth to her daughter at 18, and places her for adoption. The daughter, Kathy, searches for Mary and they are reunited. Unfortunately, Kathy's adoptive parents were not the greatest people, and her life was diffcult. It all ends up with Mary (her birthmom) ADOPTING Kathy!"

Birthmoms and Adoptees: This is for you!,
By mary bradford clark (Acton, MA. mary@reconnections.cx) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reconnections (Paperback)
My name is Mary Bradford Clark and I am the co-author of Reconnections. My daughter Kathy, whom I gave up for adoption at her birth, wrote this book with me. It was her surprize phone call to me in 1992, our reunion, and subsequent growing relationship that has provided healing to us and our families. Writing Reconnections was in itself a way to revisit both painful and positive memories. Through writing Reconnections Kathy became a legal member of our family, a sister to her sister, and a full daughter to me. She chose as an adult to be adopted by her birth family.Reconnections is a book which celebrates reunion, adoption, and connection to families, both birth families and adoptive families. Kathy and I have done readings of this book throughout the U.S. with the hope of encouraging and supporting birth moms to "come out of the shadows" and adoptees to follow their dreams. Reconnections is a poignant, upbeat and honest memoir that we hope you'll enjoy.
