| 1. |  | Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew from Delta Price: $10.20 Customer Review:  This book dwells too much on negativity. It also seems to blame adoption for everything that can go wrong in an adoptee's life. I have adopted and maternal children, all of which go thru the same teenage issues of any other teenager.
