Description: "Drawn from compelling stories of people who have been adopted, this book provides an intelligent and accessible description of the distinct emotional and spiritual challenges faced by adoptees and their families."--BOOK JACKET.

"Nydam avoids overstating the plight of the adopted person. Instead, he maps out an alternative developmental pathway that adoptees travel, given the realities of relinquishment and adoption. Adoptees can grow up joyfully, Nydam concludes, but they do grow up differently."--BOOK JACKET.
