The Open-Hearted Way to Open Adoption
By Lori Holden with Crystal Hass
"This is a beautifully honest, thoughtful, and enlightened guide—a book I wish my parents could have read before they adopted me. Keeping the well-being of the adopted child in mind, Lori explains why it’s so important to help heal the split between a child’s biography and biology. I encourage you to set aside any preconceived thoughts you have about openness in adoption and take a look. I recommend this to all of the adoptive and foster families I work with."
