New Book Review:
Back to the Beginning – Remarkable True Stories of Adoption Searches & Reunions
Adoption Searches are unique to each person involved. Some clients simply want medical histories. For others the stakes are much higher: a daughter seeking to understand the trauma her birthmother went through at the time of relinquishment; a son wanting to set the record straight on his own family history; a birthfather who never even saw his daughter when she was born, but never forgot her; a birthmother who wanted reassurance that she did the right thing when she placed her child for adoption 21 years ago. This book offers not only true stories that touch the heart, but invaluable experience in understanding the dynamics of adoption reunions from the perspective of all those involved in the Adoption Triad.
The authors of this book operate a licensed P.I. firm in Scottsdale, Arizona – specializing in adoption searches. I found the stories to be very compelling – and not only interesting, but educational from the standpoint of one interested in the research process. I highly recommend this book to my readers.
