5.0 out of 5 stars An Adoptee's Opinion, September 5, 2000
This review is from: Synchronicity and Reunion: The Genetic Connection of Adoptees and Birthparents (Paperback)
I am neither a professional nor an intellectual. I am simply an average adoptee who searched for and found my birth family. Many of my questions were finally answered, but many more were created. I became intensely curious about what part of me was from my genetic make-up, and what part I learned from my adoptive parents. This book has been extremely helpful in answering those questions and making sense out of the many coincidences I am discovering. There are others who have done studies and have their own opinions on the genetic connection, but unless you are an adoptee or a birth parent, you can never fully understand the impact or significance of this connection. Stiffler is a birth mother who has provided facts gleaned from both others' studies, and more importantly, her own personal life situation. Because of this, I highly recommend this book to all adoptees and birth parents.

4.0 out of 5 stars An objective view of mysterious coincidences, June 24, 1999
This review is from: Synchronicity and Reunion: The Genetic Connection of Adoptees and Birthparents (Paperback)
The incredible coincidences in the case studies presented in this book are handled with great objectivity by Stiffler. I have just reunited with my birthmother and sent her a copy of the book as well. After reading the book, which I gladly stayed up half the night to finish, I was able to write over one page of synchronicities in the adoption triad of which I'm a vertex. While Stiffler's dissertation, as she readily admits in the book's introduction, was hastily placed in book form and needs further assistance with writing and editing (she asks readers for assistance with suggestions for the next edition), I found the book fascinating. I'm thankful that Stiffler has tackled such intriguing subject matter and I look forward to further research into synchronicity and the adoption triangle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Birthfather Touched by Connections, May 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Synchronicity and Reunion: The Genetic Connection of Adoptees and Birthparents (Paperback)
I am a birthfather, in reunion for 14 years now. The pain of losing our history together is made somewhat softer by having found the many ways we were connected in the intervening years. This book shows our experience is not unusual. In addition, the anecdotes are fascinating for any reader. The psychological research is also helpful.
