Description

Wolff, whose interracial, open adoption of an infant at birth is the source of this volume’s content, shares her experiences with wit and fearless honesty. She addresses such personal fears and questions as: What if I don’t like the kid I get? Will my child ever feel like mine? Why am I so sad when I’m supposed to be so happy? Are people staring, or am I paranoid? Will she want him back? What if I want to return him?
