I definitely thought it was worth reading. And yeah, I probably could have timed reading it differently, because that whole section was just a tad terrifying. A lot of it was terrifying, but terrifying is good sometimes rather than hiding behind my pillow and not looking into aspects of open adoption that aren't quite so poster-perfect, edited to be cozy rather than brutally honest. I really appreciated her honesty, even if I didn't always appreciate what was said! :) Thanks for weighing in on my weigh-in...

I wonder if there are self-published memoirs out there by other birth mothers that you could read (if you were interested)?

Sounds like you did well at "hearing" but not internalizing the banter between her and her sister.<br /><br />And I really like how you point out that Amy Seek's is A story (not THE story), and how you viewed her relationship with your son's mom. Well done thoughts on this book.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.com
