Twenty Life-Transforming Choices Adoptees Need to Make                                    
(Pinon Press, 2003)

Twenty Life Transforming Choices Adoptees Need to MakeIf you want to get a good look at the issues adoptees of all ages face, Twenty Life-Transforming Choices Adoptees Need to Make is the book for you! Gregory C. Keck, Ph.D., attachment and bonding specialist says, "Sherrie speaks clearly, emotionally, and accurately. Adoptees as well as their families-birth and adoptive-will find this book valuable!" More than 70 adoptees, from ages seven to seventy, were interviewed and shared fresh and rarely-discussed topics:
  • Why do I feel guilty when thoughts about my birth parents surface?
  • Why do well-intentioned comments hurt instead of help me?
  • Why do I often feel misunderstood?
  • Why do I reject others before they can reject me?
  • Why am I terrified of rejection?
  • What does my birth father think about me?
  • Is it normal to have mixed feelings about my adoption?
  • Why do I often sabotage myself, when I have such potential?
  • Why do I have so much anger toward my adoptive mother?
Eldridge doesn't leave the reader hanging with only head knowledge. Each chapter ends with practical ways to deal with each issue and learn how to make healthy, life-changing choices. Foster W. Cline, renowned psychiatrist and author of the
Love and Logic book series, calls this a "must read" for anyone touched by adoption.
