Birthright: The Guide to Search and Reunion for
Adoptees, Birthparents, and Adoptive...
From Booklist - An adoptee offers compassionate and
comprehensive guidance to locating "adoptees,
birthparents and adoptive parents." Strauss proceeds
from the view that seeking reunion with relatives
estranged by adoption is a good thing, and she
marshals impressive reasoning and evidence to
support her case. She discusses the laws that make
adoption records confidential in the introduction
and thereby sets the stage for the search strategies
that follow. As Strauss points out, the history of
adoption is neither simple nor consistent, and the
nature of adoption today is very different from what
it was when present adoption laws were enacted. The
more a searcher understands the nature of adoption
practices and laws, she says, the more likely his or
her search is to succeed. Strauss interweaves the
story of the search for her own birthparents with
the strategies for finding birth relatives, and
whether or not one agrees with the practice of
adoptees or birthparents initiating searches for
lost relatives, she tells that personal story
compellingly. Thus, Strauss' effort offers
considerable insight into the motivations of a
particular adoptee as it encourages and counsels
others wishing to undertake such a search
themselves. Mike Tribby |
