Synopsis

In this unique book, the reader is provided with a description of the unfolding of the adoptee's personality from birth, detailing each developmental milestone along the way, followed by different methods of healing the adoptee's wounds, including inner child work, visualizations, healing affirmations, and anger management. Every chapter includes a Myths and Realities of adoption section, a summary of the chapter and exercises to do on one's own.

About this title

From the Author

I have written this book as an adoptee talking from the heart to his millions of adopted "brothers and sisters", as a son to his millions of birthparents and adoptive parents and as a colleague to his fellow mental health professionals in the hope of shedding new light on this most confusing subject.
