No matter how loving your adoptive home, growing up adopted presents unique challenges––challenges the majority of adoptees don’t talk about.

Were you adopted as an infant or child? If so, imagine what it would be like to attend a gathering of all adoptees. What would you ask them? Author Sherrie Eldridge says adoptees might ask each other:

· Do you ever feel alone?
· Do you struggle with fears of rejection?
· Do you have a special place in your heart for your birth parents?
· Do you know who to trust?
· Do you have a good self-image?
· Do you feel like you don’t belong?
· Do you ever think about a reunion with your birth family?

Sherrie Eldridge has interviewed more than seventy adoptees, who transparently share their stories in Twenty Life-Transforming Choices Adoptees Need to Make, a book for adoptees and by adoptees. This book is a celebration of adoption based on the fact that adoption can teach some of life’s deepest and richest lessons.

Upon hearing the stories of others, you will realize you’re not alone but are instead in the company of an incredible bunch of people who will inspire you to make life choices that propel you to become all you were created to be.

A LIGHT FOR ADOPTEES!!!, July 2, 2003

Hi Sherrie,

I am currently reading your book, "Twenty Life-Transforming Choices" and it is changing my life! I am an adoptee in Albuquerque, NM, am almost 43 years old and am just discovering that much of my life's struggles have been due to my loss at birth. Thank you! Also, thank you for the Christian aspect of this in your book. There is so much psychology surrounding this issue, it is sometimes difficult to know how God feels about it all.
