In Search of Mom gave me the inspiration to search for my birth mother, in which I have already used many of Watson's ideas. If she is alive she will be 69. My main concern is to know my nationality.

 In Search of Mom is a fantastic book for anyone who has wondered what it feels like to be adopted. Because of Watsons unique way of involving the reader, I went through half the book the first evening. I have already ordered 5 copies for my friends. I highly recommend this book.

Michael Watson's story of his search for his birth family is a celebration of resiliency, drawing in the reader as he struggles to reconnect with his birth mother and a family that had been told he died at birth. The heartening outcome of his personal journey is the establishment of his "Why Mom Deserves a Diamond" essay contest, to which over 25,000 students have submitted essays.

I have just finished reading "In Search of Mom" and loved every word of it. It had special meaning for me as I had adopted both of my daughters. It was like looking through a mirror from the other side.
