Do you tell your child the truth? Honesty is the best policy, especially in the case of adoption. One of the really difficult questions to answer is, why did my real parents give me up?

Maureen Linse-Adras uses a carnival metaphor to express her roller coaster ride through endometriosis, infertility, and the adoption process. Her upbeat attitude and subtle humor pervades this book, giving the reader hope along with the example of her personal story. Her writing is entertaining as well as educational, and I found the combination pulled me through the chapters. She gave me a greater understanding of her struggles to keep an emotional balance during hormonal treatments, painful surgeries, and infertility. My favorite part of this book can be summed up in the first sentence: "This story has a happy ending." Although she struggled through many surgeries, heartbreaking trials with...

Over the last 20 years, many birthmoms have come out of the "birthmom closet" and talked about their pasts. Many have searched for the children that they lost to adoption, and many have reunited. These are women who have dealt with the past in one way or another and moved on. Unfortunately, there are still many women who refuse to acknowledge what they went through, and who have kept it a secret all of their lives. For these women, the child they bore and gave up becomes THE secret. Many of the women who worked so hard at keeping their secret have not even shared with their husband that they had a child that was relinquished. Nobody in their life knows what happened but them. That is a huge secret...

Last year it was "let's all campaign against the brutality of hunting animals for their fur" and this year it's a case of lets take our obscene amounts of money and go and buy a baby from Africa. There are several issues on different...

Numerous celebrities and wealthy people have given the impression of having done exactly that. Are they merely influencing another fad or are they sincere? Celebrities are notorious for their "platforms" of self-interest. Campaigning against fur one month and boycotting political parties the next. Is this the next level of fashion statements...
