This review is from: The Stranger Who Bore Me: Adoptee-Birth Mother Relationships (Paperback)

I thought this book worked towards a goal of making the adoptees real mothers (and fathers) seem unimportant. The whole book seems to be prejudiced in favor of an adopters needs to replace and exclude the childs parents completely. This message came through loud and clear and in direct opposition to much of her own data.

This review is from: The Stranger Who Bore Me: Adoptee-Birth Mother Relationships (Paperback)

The author misinterprets her own data. I'm certain she must be an adopter who resents the possibility of renion between her adoptee and his/her mother. This book was obviously biased and extremely flawed.
