A reunion between family members who have been separated by an adoption can be a very emotional event. For most people there is great joy and excitement, but for some there can be anger and disappointment. Sometimes there is a mixture of both ecstasy and agony. Evelyn Robinson has written this book to help to explain that mixture of feelings and to increase understanding of the emotional dynamics of the reunion experience. Although the author lives and works in South Australia, the information in this book is pertinent to anyone, anywhere in the world, who is interested in the outcomes of adoption separation and reunion. Australia has led the English-speaking world in providing legal access to adoption information, which can facilitate reunion between adults separated by adoption. When children are adopted, they are no longer legally related to any member of their original families ie the family of their original mother and the family of their original father. When they become adults, however, many adopted people are reunited with their families of origin. This book contains a selection from the many discussions which Evelyn has had around adoption separation and reunion over a period of more than twenty years.
