Summary: Valuable Christian tool to add to your arsenal!!
Review: This book is a valuable healing tool with a strong Christian emphasis. The tools at the end of each chapter offer religious and non-religious practical solutions to healing pain surrounding adoption issues. As an author myself, I enjoy books that are well-rounded and don't exclude you, no matter what your personal beliefs are. There is hope for us all folks!Kasey Hamner, M.S., author of "Whose Child?" and "Adoption Forum"

Summary: NOT FOR THE NON-RELIGIOUS!!
Review: This is a great book for adoptees with practical suggestions. If you are not religious however, and you are offended by religious undertones, be aware. Otherwise, Sherrie's insights are honest, gut-wrenching, and VERY helpful for the still-suffering adoptee to read.

Summary: Important handbook for enhancing adoptees' own sense of self
Review: This publication, Ms. Eldridge's latest on adoption issues, is an important handbook for enhancing adoptees' own sense of self and certainly promotes greater comprehension of adult adoptees' unique, personal experiences. She has taken our individual "I thought these particular feelings were mine alone" mentalities and weaved them into a quilt of shared adoptee experiences. The resulting reward is a greater understanding of adult adoptees by non-adoptees, and most importantly, increasing the understanding of ourselves. Thank you, Sherrie, from the bottom of my adult adoptee heart.

Summary: A Fabulous Healing Tool
Review: Throughout the book, Sherrie Eldridge discusses various problems we, as adoptees and even as rejectees, face. After each discussion, she offers a choice that we can make to find healing. I highly recommend this book as a healing tool for all adoptees, but especially for anyone dealing with self-esteem issues.

Summary: What a great book!!
Review: When I got this book, I was unable to put it down. Sherrie is a great writer. She makes you feel as if you are sitting there listening to a friend. she touches on a lot of subjects, and feelings and emotions that I was confused about...anger, loss, thoughts of my birthparents, etc... At the end of each chapter, she gives you certain things that you might want to do to help you overcome whatever she went over in that chapter...like writing a letter to your birthmother or birthfather...even if you are not searching or haven't been reunited yet. It helps you get in touch with buried thoughts and feelings you may have. I myself am an adoptee, and have been happily reunited with my birthmother for 3 years now. I am 33 now. I didn't even think of searching for her until I was about 24 years old. I wish Sherrie was writing books when I was a teenager. I think they would have helped me out tremendously!!
