Customer Reviews
Negative Overtone in the Beginning
My two open adoptions were so positive that when I read this book it came across as discouraging. I got the sense that the author had a negative experience with open adoption or was insecure. Sorry to say I wouldn't recommend this book.
Open Adoption Experience: Complete Guide for Adoptive and Birth Families
I really don't like this book. I am having to force myself to read it.
great book 
I was a little hesitant about the whole open adoption situation, until I read this book. It really helped me to understand how open adoptiongs work. This is a well written and practical book. If you only read one book on open adoption, read this one!
