Picking up where her first book left off, Sherrie Eldridge has hit on another emotional topic and provided advice to carry her readers into a brighter future. Her first book, “Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew,” provides a hands-on tool for parents to guide their children through the growing up years. Now, with “Twenty Life Transforming Choices Adoptees Need to Make,” adoptees are given the tools to address their adoption related issues and make the best of their lives. First, Eldridge presents the difficulties many adoptees face through issues of loss and abandonment. After the issues are presented she provides 20 truths and choices that can transform adoptees in their journeys through life. Eldridge offers first-hand accounts from her own life and the lives of many other adult adoptees. Until adoptees can address their adoption issues head-on and learn to grow beyond them, Eldridge feels adoptees will be burdened with unnecessary difficulties in their lives. This is why Eldridge offers her book as a guidebook to adoptees to be proactive and address the issues they may struggle with in their own lives. The nice thing about this book is that Eldridge speaks from first-hand experience as an adoptee struggling with her own issues of her adoption. And as if her word isn’t good enough, she shares with you the struggles of so many other adoptees. She pulls from a variety of sources including other books, the bible and first-hand accounts. This book allows adoptees to search within themselves and uncover some of the hurts they have experienced and move beyond them. “Twenty Life Transforming Choices Adoptees Need to Make” should be read by every adoptee, especially those struggling with issues regarding adoption.
