Book Reviews of Two Little Girls: A Memoir of Adoption
Book Review: Narcissism & Adoption
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is awful. I found the first part of the book okay. The couple is incredibly naive as they adopt their first child, but surprisingly lots of couples are.
The cringe factor increased with each paragraph about their search not for another child, but a sister for their first, perfect, beautiful daughter. The narrator quickly became a very unlikeable character. This couple seemed to have more money than sense & would stop at nothing to bring home a sister. Then when the perfect daughter didn't like her new sister, the author spends too much time regretting their decision. The author really never came across as wanting to be the mother of the second little girl. She seemed way too self-involved to notice some of the more obvious attachment issues & unwilling to work on those issues with the little girl. The book left me feeling like I need kiss, hug & reassure my daughter, that I love her & wanted her for her, not because of what she provides for her brothers.
