While many of the essays were individually moving, overall the book did not question the innate value of modern Western definitions of family.

Wanting to give them answers and sometimes not being able to find/get ahold of their birth parent(s) to ask would be something I don't know if I could handle.

My "voyeur" sense started screaming, because I thought it would be interesting to read about people's lives. Ivy and Bean One Big Happy Family (Book 11) (Ivy and Bean (11)). Did not finish.
