Excellent subject. This matter should certainly be brought to the attention of all people. My view of adoption comes from a different perspective - as an adoptive mother. While there are many thousands already involved in adoption, there are many more who know nothing of the personal aspect. I feel very strongly that adoption is tossed around as an easy and praise-worthy conclusion to a complex situation. Not many understand the role of adoptive parents. This is never a secret mission and the truth never goes away. I love that Ann Fessler wrote the book and I will own and keep a copy.
