Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother

Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother by Wolff, Jana. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780967214313.

While books about adoption proliferate, none of them addresses the subject of open and interracial adoption like Jana Wolffs personal and frank account does in [i]Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother[/i]. Often irreverent, always insightful, surprisingly funny and stunningly honest, [i]Secret Thoughts[/i] tells it like it is: How it feels for a woman to look nothing like her child and to know the woman who does. This fiercely honest and funny book answers questions no one dares to ask: What if I dont like the child I get? Will she want the baby back? If this is the happiest day of my life, why am I so sad? Am I too white for a kid this black? Chapter titles include: The Myth of Bliss, Friendly Racism, Meeting Your Childs Mother, and Adopted Poop Doesnt Smell Any Different.
