Sherrie Eldridge continues to be a powerful voice in the adoption world. I am excited to read her new book, “20 Life-Transforming Choices Adoptees Need to Make”. Adoption is not one event in a person’s life but rather it is an ongoing journey. Like other people not touched by adoption, though, there are choices all of us can make so that our life has more meaning and is richer and fuller. I am excited to read this from an adult adoptee’s perspective and again, Sherrie Eldridge? Can’t beat her perspective!
