Re: Review of Finding Closure

Post by Christina Holtzclaw »

This memoir does seem poised to offer adoptees and their families a shared sense of experience and solace, while also shedding light on the journey of self-discovery and acceptance for all readers. Your review beautifully captures these layers, and I agree, Finding Closure sounds like a truly inspirational read that deserves full marks.

I learned more about the difficulties faced by adoptees from reading Finding Closure, particularly those who, like Rosie, are driven to discover their biological roots. Her narrative is both enlightening and endearing, serving as a reminder that the path to self-acceptance can be arduous but ultimately fruitful. For anyone who has ever wondered about their origins or their fundamental identity, it gave me hope.

Well, the good thing is she was raised in a loving home. I appreciate the author's raw honesty, sharing her personal experience. So that others in a similar situation not feel alone. Thank you for your detailed review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting memoir about the author's journey of self-discovery to find the author's birth parents after adoption. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

This vision discusses a very important issue, which is adoption, and how the adopted child lives with this fact. No matter how happy his life is with his adopted family, he always finds himself with a deep gap and a puzzling question: Why did my family abandon me? With the sequence of events, you will find new answers and an exciting approach to this issue that will make you change your thinking, and I believe in many things.

Adopted children reuniting with their birth parents can be a good or a bad thing. This book is a must-read for both sides.

What would my life feel like if I had been adopted? "Finding Closure" attracts me because it reminds me of a possibility in my life: Had I been adopted, how would I deal with it? How would I come out of such a situation?

This sounds like a great story portraying a life journey of someone looking for answers about her identity and where he or she came from. I will follow the story of Norman-Neubauer and find out whether she ever knew her birth parents and the qualities she inherited from them. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

She was adopted as an infant and even though she had a good life she still ached to know her biological family. After 55 years she finally located her mother.

The issue of identity crisis goes deeper than we seem to understand. Although I have gone through Norman-Neubauer's experience, I can understand and empathize with her feelings. This book is certainly worth the read. Congratulations on the book of the day.
