| This is the most negative, depressing collection of unscientific and undocumented drivel I have ever read. I would recommend that you DO NOT read this book if you are considering adoption. If you give any credence to the author, you will come away feeling that no one should ever adopt a child, lest the child be tormented by "toxic shame" and worse from day one ever after. Yes, many adoptees have unique feelings and circumstances that they need to have validated and that need to be addressed, but this book should not be used as a guidebook or source of information in that regard. If you still want to read this, check it out of a library, don't spend your money on it. |
