“If you are a teenage adoptee, you may feel that the search for your birth parents is necessary to answer important questions about yourself. But the search is not easy. Piecing together the puzzle of birth parents’ identities requires investigative skills and dogged determination, and for many adoptees, the emotional upheaval is more difficult than the actual search. Where Are My Birth Parents? is a sensitive and practical guide. Through extensive research and interviews with adoptees, parents, and birth parents who have been involved in the search process, Karen Gravelle and Susan Fischer help adoptees make informed decisions about if and how to search for their birth parents.”
