The Adoption Reunion Survival Guide: Preparing Yourself for the Search, Reunion, and Beyond

Paperback.Adoptees and birth parents are searching for—and finding—each other more and more easily, as society's attitudes and state laws recognize that everyone has a right to their original birth records and genealogy.
