Some of the answers can turn out to be surprising and even scary. In this book, Diane Koven, herself the mother of two adopted chiildren, attemps to answer the question by interviewing a number of adoptees. Diane says, "A great many families have been touched by adoption, yet it is only in recent years that people have openly discussed it. Even now, it isn't something that one might readily include in a casual conversation or an introduction." Diane's research and reporting have crossed barriers, invited disclosure, and opened up a dialogue. Whether you have adopted a child or have yourself been adopted, you are a part of this dialogue"--Provided by publisher.
