What was one of the most memorable moments of Adoption Healing? The book is instructional, not narrative. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Elan O'Connor? Mike Chamberlain.
He is an excellent reader, and an appropriate choice since the author is male. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Any additional comments? The reader was easy to understand and had no accent, but she seemed to blod through this book like a sleepwalker. Perhaps she felt the intended listener would be an adopted newborn? Not sure why people were negative about the performance, on such a painful subject that caused individuals the most brutal traumatic life changing experience as a newborn, I found her voice soothing, empathetic and healing.
I finally started tabbing forward to get past it.
Then it was almost all about mother infant bond. No value if you are adopting an older child. I gave up at 4.
I would also agree with the other reviewer who suggested it for insomniac infants becase the reading pace was awful and plodding. Would you consider the audio edition of Adoption Healing to be better than the print version? Yes , yes, yes its the best. Who was your favorite character and why?
How does this one compare? The whole book moved me helped to feel the feelings I thought I wasn't allowed to feel. Very healing. Thank you for the work you put into this book, I never knew how to explain how I have always felt about being adopted and this book did it for me. As an adoptee this book gave a lot of insight on feelings I have had. I will recommend it to other adoptees. I am at a loss to understand why anyone would recommend this book. As an adoptive parent and surrounded by adoptees both my own and friends, the journey is a personal one. This book be written with the bias toward someone who is very bitter and singly about The authors bitterness and belief that there are only young parents who can't afford to keep their child and adoptive parents who could not have biological children.
I have many adoptive friends. The majority of whom have no interest in meeting their birth parents. And half of those that did meet their birth. It was a whirlpool experience for them. The opinions and believes are of one very defined stream.
They don't discuss the many pros and cons of each item that she goes through. Few know the depth of the adoptee and first parent experience as well as Joe Soll, especially the dark side, where loss and loneliness reside. Combining his experience, or perhaps we should say wisdom, with current therapeutic approaches, Joe creates an environment where growth can occur. Read his work, try it out, see how it works for you. Adoption Healing … a path to recovery by Joe Soll is one such book. His words offer counsel for the tragic separation that has occurred in the sacred union of mother and child.
Useful and recommended resource, but all based on some limited tenets from author. Quite repetitive. Would you listen to Adoption Healing again?
Only if I can use a speed control - this reader would be great for an insomnia treatment book. What was one of the most memorable moments of Adoption Healing? The book is instructional, not narrative. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Elan O'Connor? Mike Chamberlain.
