Yesterday they took my baby-Ben Wicks.
I Found this book in a charity shop , a great read for all.It covers the lives of adoptive parents, birth parents and adoptees too.
Coming from a family where this hasnt happened it really did open my eyes. I hope I dont offend anyone by suggesting this read, its just a fantastic book!!!!

It sounds interesting, Rebecca, I will have to look out for it. I am not adopted but things about the way others behave when up against it, always intrigue me.
Thanks for posting this info
