Whose Child? : An Adoptee's Healing Journey from Relinquishment through Reunion ... and Beyond
Editorial Reviews
Nancy Verrier, M.F.T., adoptive mother and author of The Primal Wound: Understanding the Adopted Child
A winner in the arena of adoption literature! Kasey Hamner, adoptee and author of Whose Child? describes herself as a "run-of-the-mill, garden variety adoptee," but her book is anything but run-of-the-mill. It is a frank, open account of her difficulties with relationships, self-esteem, and substances, and how her reunion with her birth family helped heal her wounds. It is well written and poignant in its honest story, which will help other adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents understand the complexities of the issues associated with adoption and the importance of reunion in the lives of adoptees. Finally, adoptees are writing their own stories!
Dorothea S. McArthur, Ph.D., adoptive mother, clinical psychologist and author of Birth of a Self in Adulthood
A brave story--told with honesty, a remarkable memory and lots of feeling. A provocative work for all members of the adoption triad.
