 A Peek Inside International Adoption

"The narrative voice is powerful and clear, and the prose is good. The Search for Mother Missing: A Peek Inside International Adoption asks important questions related to the rights of children adopted internationally, explores the challenges they face, and the anguish of being disconnected from one's true parents. It is poignant, insightful, and gripping, filled with humanity." - Christian Sia
