I'm His Mother But He's Not My Son

…tells shared experiences of reunited adoptees and their birth family
members.

Barbara Gonyo tells of the relinquishment of her son and her search
to keep her silent promise to him that she would someday find him.
Barbara shares her feelings of a love she discovers that breaks the
taboo of family love and brings on feelings that left unchecked would
become incest.

In her twenty two years of leading an adoption support group, her
honesty in sharing these feelings have brought hundreds of other
reunited adoptees and birthparents and siblings to her asking for help
in resolving these forbidden feelings of bonding.

The warmth of love mingled with the feelings of guilt and shame are
openly discussed in The Forbidden Love.
