Being Adopted: The Lifelong Search for Self

David M. Brodzinsky, Marshall D. Schechter & Robin

Emphasizing adoption issues as viewed “through the eyes of adoptees,” this book offers a sensitive and intelligent guide to developmental perspectives, normality, individuality, search for self, and loss, illustrating common passages and probing complex issues. Without suggesting that adoption is an endless “wound,” the authors do argue that adoption is “an issue that emerges, seems to be settled, and then reemerges at some later point along life’s path."
