This book is a must read for all adoptees in search of unlocking the past and for anyone who needs inspiration and likes to cry to a good book.
From the Author:
Once you pick up and start reading UNLOCKING THE PAST you won't put it down!
I wrote UNLOCKING THE PAST because when I started my search out of the U.S. there were no books available to help adoptees search out of the country when you have limited information. It is almost impossible to find someone in another country when you don't speak the langauge. My book proves It is still possible, I did it against all the odds.
