• W220444054 abstract "Adoption Wisdom: A Guide to the Issues and Feelings of Adoption by Marlou Russell, Ph.D. (1996). Los Angeles: Broken Branch Productions. 199 pages. ISBN: 1888511125 Adoption Wisdom is a valuable starting point for adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, or those who simply want to explore the meaning of the experience. It is a fast and informative read likely to hold the attention of anyone with a personal or professional interest in the topic. The author covers the history of adoption, the issues and feelings of each member of the adoption triad, and insights into the process of search and reunion and the relationships that result. There is a section on the future of adoption, and another for those contemplating that offers some useful questions for consideration. Dr. Russell, herself an adoptee in reunion with her birth family, is a psychotherapist in private practice working with adoptees, birth parents and adoptive families. In this unusual book, she allows the members of the triad to speak for themselves, forming the book around their quoted statements relevant to the topics addressed and revealing the varied experiences of the different members of the triad. The result is poignant, effective, and engaging, though very possibly emotionally challenging for those who are personally affected by adoption. For these highly-involved readers, the book offers many opportunities for healing: recognition that others have felt as do, that their secret thoughts and feelings are reasonable and legitimate, and that similar feelings may be shared by others in the triad although for different reasons. The author makes it understandable that some people may need support or professional help in working thorough the deep wounds and confusions that can result from being part of an triad. I appreciated how the words of adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents provide valuable insights into the experience of the other partners in adoption, and can help those who are about to be in any of these roles. Russell takes the unambiguous stance that adoptees do, of course, know were adopted, since after all they were there! This seems to hold true even when their early experiences may not be fully accessible to the conscious mind. Statements by adoptees throughout the book are themselves verification that the experience of relinquishment and has a profound effect on their sense of identity and worth and, in many cases, on their life choices. All the prenatal and perinatal aspects of are touched upon here-how the birth mother feels about the child she is carrying, how the child feels about its very existence and the transition from birth parents to adopting parents, and finally, how the unresolved issues of the adopting parents may affect both their child and their subsequent relationship with the birth parents. …" @default.
