Ms. Robinson has amassed a large collection of work from 75 respected poets, authors and playwrights, all of whom have one thing in common--an adoption connection. Some, like the father of former basketball star Issac Berg, and myself, adopted children, many internationally. Others, like Paula Friedman of California, were birthparents. Still others were themselves adopted as children. It is a privilege to have my work included in this edition, whose writers hail from many racial and religious backgrounds, yet sing in chorus: We can all learn from one another, and from the adoption experience.

Touched By Adoption
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
As an adoptive aunt, I found this book compelling reading. More important, my adopted niece recognized herself within the pages and was moved by the experience. This was a perfect gift for Patty, and I highly recommend it to others!Terryl Paiste, Fairfax, Virginia
Not Alone

As the author of four poems in this anthology, I can now say that I don't feel alone anymore. Each poem, each story I read, I am compelled to read a second time. Every time I pick up this book, it feels like I'm picking up a part of my life. I recommend this book to anyone ready to delve into the heart of adoption.
Powerful, Touching and Real

If you are looking for a poignant collection of stories, poems and letters about the adoption experience, look no further. TOUCHED BY ADOPTION is guaranteed to touch your soul. Similar to the CHICKEN SOUP books in tone and texture, TOUCHED BY ADOPTION focuses on every possible angle of adoption. It is one of my favorite books, one I will read over and over. As a published author, I am picky about the books I endorse. This emotion-packed anthology is well worth adding to your library.
