Query: Disappointing

I really wanted to like this book. I am a adoptee and have read a handful of books on adoption and liked that this dealt not only with the emotions you might encounter when searching for birth parents but the emotions you deal with just growing up adopted. Unfortunately I lost interest after the first 2 or 3 chapters. I would've found the author's voice more endearing if I were reading an online blog but as a book it just doesn't work. Too many chapters include moments like "here is a poem I wrote about the feelings I had on this subject" and it began to chaffe after a while. There is also quite a bit of a religious slant that isn't helpful to a non-christian. Overall, not a BAD book per se, just one I could easily put down.
