This is the second book I’ve read about the impact of adoptions that no one talks about. First one was What White Patents Should Know about Transracial Adoption by Melissa Guida-Richards last year. That was from the perspective of the adopted child (written as an adopted adult). This book was just as powerful. I’m so glad we are now talking about the full picture of what it means to give up a child for adoption, especially in light of the Dobbs decision.
