Adoption Healing... A Path to Recovery for Mothers Who Lost Children to Adoption
"Adoption Healing is a testament to the terrible and long-lasting injustice that was done to so many women in our recent past, when 'authorities' snatched their babies and told these mothers that they would forget. Buterbaugh and Soll have crafted a deeply caring book that reaches out to mothers who will never forget." - Rickie Solinger, author of Wake Up Little Susie: Single Pregnancy and Race before Roe v. Wade, and Beggars and Choosers: How the Politics of Choice Shapes Adoption, Abortion, and Welfare in the U.S --Rickie Solinger"Adoption Healing needs to carry a warning: 'Beware! Read at your own risk. Long-buried feelings are bound to surface. Not advisable to read without support.' Adoption healing is not for the fainthearted. Some will say it's radical, and it is. But it is the very radicalness that leads you to your own truth -- to the place of healing." - Carol Schaefer, author of The Other Mother and Mary Queen of Scots; playwright of The Sacred Virgin --Carol SchaeferAs an adoption reform activist, I found Adoption Healing to be the most straightforward and honest book I have ever read. The authors presentation of the material explains the myths and facts of the exiled mother s experience in a most clear and concise manner. Adoption Healing is one of those very special books that is difficult to put down! - Sandy Musser, Adoption Activist and Author of I Would Have Searched Forever & To Prison With Love --Sandra K Musser
