5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent search tool
By Poohybear2@aol.com on May 20, 1999
Format: Paperback
This is a wonderful guide for searches. It takes you through your search step by step. "Search" also gives contact addresses for support groups, sample letters to send seeking information & the addresses to send those letters to during your search. I found it a very helpful book.

5.0 out of 5 starsSearch: A Handbook for Adoptees and Birthparents
By Victoria Jandran on October 26, 2000
Format: Paperback
I Loved the support of the book. I no longer felt alone after reading it. I used the sample letter in the book and found my birth mom and got to have a reunion this year with her and my sisters. Thank You, Jane Askin! This book is very detailed and very factual, but easy to understand and follow -If your affected by adoption this book is a must for your library-buy it today!!

5.0 out of 5 starsMake it your "search bible"!
By A Customer on September 23, 2003
Format: Paperback
This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive book on completing an adoption search that you will be able to find. The difference between this and other books that show you how to investigate to find missing people is that Askin's book is specifically tailored for the adoption situation. An adoptee herself, Askin is keenly aware with the emotional issues that go into a search for birth parents or relinquished child. In fact, the first few chapters are dedicated to helping the reader decide if he or she can invest, emotionally as well as financially, time-wise, etc. in the huge commitment undertaking an adoption search requires. From there she delves into the "how-to's" of a search. No, it will not necessarily lead a person with an extremely complicated search to her answers (in my case, I can't uncover my birth father's name, even after ten years). However, it was instrumental in leading me straight to my birth mother. One thing I wish it covered was the reunion process and what to expect afterward...but that's what books like _Birth Bond_ by Gediman, Dunphy, and Brown are for.
