Adoption Encounter: Hurt, Transition, Healing
»Adoption is a life long process.
»Adoption is a condition of peoples lives, not who they are.
»Adoption involves bonding, separation, loss and gain.
»Adoption expands families and relationships, and Adds Options.
and that: It is all
in how we view it! Everyone in every family is a whole human being and maintains personal
dominion in their own life. There is no right or wrong way to do adoption, be an adoptee,
birth or adoptive parent. There is simply a way to be the best you possible! That path
takes understanding where you have been, knowing where you are and envisioning where you
desire to be.

family."

The Adoption Triangle:
Sealed or Opened Records - How they Affect Adoptees , Birth
Parents & Adoptive Parents.
By Arthur D. Sorosky, M.D., Annette Baran,
M.S.W. and Reuben Pannor, M.S.W.
"The Adoption
Triangle urges a policy whose time has come...well-edited and poignant case
histories." -- NY Times
"A classic and the first to deal with how sealed
and open records affect adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents.
Originally published in 1978," ... it is as true and open as the changes
advocated ... comprehensive, factual, forward looking, totally honest,
readable and thoughful ..." Los Angeles Times.
"This is one of the finest books
ever written on the subject of adoption. The insights provided are
invaluable in helping ... understand the
exquisitely unique and complex issues that adoption "triad" members face
throughout their lives. This book dispels a lot of commonly held beliefs and
myths about adoption, and provides a sober look at the reality of what it
means to be an infertile parent, or a beholding adoptee; and it addresses
the myriad of expectations that inevitably lead to hurt and disappointment.

Lethal Secrets: The Psychology of Donor
Insemination - Problems & Solutions
By
Annette Baran,and Reuben Pannor,. Foreword by Arthur D. Sorosky, M.D.,
The psychology of donor
insemination presents both problems and solutions. In the world of
alternative means of conception, donor insemination is the parent procedure,
the most available, successful and egalitarian. Breaking the bonds of
silence and ending secrecy is necessary, the authors believe, to address the
inherent psyhchological problems. As the world continues headlong down the
road of high-tech procedures and methodologies, there is a need to maintain
a strong sense of importance of the human element and historical, genetic
connections.

I Would Have Searched Forever:
A
Birthmother's Search for the Child She Surrendered
As Wells As The Rest of The Story"
By
Sandra Kay Musser
In 1954, the
author surrendered her infant daughter to adoption. It was not an easy
decision for her, either before or after the separation. She reveals how the
desire to know her child caused her to endure the arduous search, while at
the same time learning valuable lessons. This is a unique book that will
stir your deepest feelings. It is both an intensely personal story of one
mother's search and a study of the important issues surrounding adoption in
our society. It makes a significant contribution toward understanding the
plight of all those affected by adoption -- birthparents, adoptees and
adoptive parents. . .
