By A Customer
This review is from: Why Didn't She Keep Me?: Answers to the Question Every Adopted Child Asks... (Paperback)
Enlightening stories about birth mothers faced with the hard decision to give their child a better life than they can provide themselves. A must-read for anyone considering giving up a child for adoption, or anyone who was adopted and wants to understand what their mother might have been feeling. And especially anyone hoping to adopt. A great read!
