Lori Holden (Get this book)Holden's debut is an insightful, heartfelt exploration of open adoption, an evolving arrangement that has been growing in popularity over the last 20 years. Her endorsement is personal; she has two children from open adoptions and maintains that openness helps heal adoption's split between a person's "biology" and "biography." She references open adoption as a "process" that encourages high-functioning relationships between birth parents, extended family members, and adopted parents. Holden skillfully covers many bases, including potential "bumps in the road," offering appendices and resources for further guidance.--Publisher's Weekly
