The reality is that the desire for information has nothing to do with parenting or personality, but an innate desire.
It's Not About You is an adoptee-focused anthology project intended to comfort those who fear the desire for information and connection is any kind of judgement on themselves. Our purpose is also to confront those who try to make it about themselves, missing the opportunity to support and connect with the adoptee who needs this information.
It's Not About You: Understanding Adoptee Search, Reunion \u0026 Open Adoption Reviews

First Mother, Adoptive Mother, and LPC
I'm a mother who placed her son for adoption in early reunion, a mother who adopted a son in an open adoption, and a Licensed Professional Counselor developing a specialty in adoption issues. I can only wish with my whole heart that I been given this kind of information about adoption prior to making my adoption decisions. It would have made me a better parent. This should be required reading for anyone contemplating or touched by adoption on any level. Excellent book. -
Good info. I'm the mother of two adopted daughters, now adults. And the adopted grandmother of 4 kiddos. Wish I had looked for this kind of education when my kids were little. As the title implies: It's Not about You/Me! Love, love, love those kids, those birth mothers and adoptee mothers. Thank you for writing this book.
