There are a lot of resources out there about adoption. Some are more geared towards adoptees, some are more for first mothers, while others speak more to adoptive parents. This is my attempt to pull together as much of these resources in one place. It's a work in progress so if you're favorite resource isn't on this list, please please please let me know! Also, I haven't read all these books. A number of them are on my wishlist and reading list. I'm working on it...The books are linked to Amazon so you don't have to go digging. I'm hoping to have all of these books read within the next year and reviewed here (and then they will link to the review which will link to Amazon). Fingers crossed I'll reach my goal!
