Everyone wants to procreate, have a miniature version of themselves running around, to carry on the family line.

It__ such a relief to know these are universal truths for so many of us in the adoption triad. Gosh, how much easier things could have been for you, for me, and your folks, if literature like this had been around, say, five, ten years ago, when we could__e all really used it.

Thank God for books, for validating your feelings, and letting you know you__e not alone.

For all her faults, it was actually my mom who instilled in me a love of reading, and books, for which I will always be grateful. She__ a complete bibliophile, so I__e pretty much grown up around libraries and books.

I__ so glad to hear you are a reader, and you found these books to help you work through things on your own.

The books you have read and the knowledge and inspiration you have gained can never be taken away from you.
