It is written for all members of the adoption triad: adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents as well as those who are in relationship with them, including professionals. It explains the influence imprinted upon the nuerological system and, thus, on future functioning. It explains how false beliefs create fear and perpetuate being ruled by the wounded child. It is a book which will help adoptees discover their authentic selves after living without seeing themselves reflected back all their lives. Review: Deeply validating for adult adoptees - Coming Home to Self by Nancy Verrier is a powerful and deeply validating book for adoptees. This book explores the inner emotional and identity journey many adoptees experience — the grief that can remain unnamed, the feeling of fragmentation, and the lifelong process of integrating the self. This is not a light read, but it is an important one. Verrier writes with compassion and clarity about the ways adoption can shape attachment, identity, and emotional regulation, even in loving adoptive families. For adult adoptees, this book can feel like someone finally put words to what has lived quietly beneath the surface for years. For adoptive parents and therapists, it offers insight that can deepen empathy and understanding. Review: ESPECIALLY if you are an adoptee, birth mom, or adoptive parent! - I am a birth mom who surrendered my son in 1969. I had read Primal Wound when it came out and just found this follow up. My son and I have been in and out of reunion due to adoption (primal wound) issues, and we've been in our last reunion for 3 years now. This book has been SUCH a blessing in helping us to understand and grow. What I love about this book is that many of the issues concern people who've experienced 'pre-verbal' trauma, and that would be me. No wonder reunion was about 2 wounded toddlers with no real adults! This book is actually just priceless! Now that I am aware of traumas I and my son and others experienced, I am GROWING UP! I would give this book 10 stars if that were possible. Thank you Nancy Verrier for your devotion to helping bring many into awareness and healing! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #201,784 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #151 in Adoption (Books) #318 in Parent & Adult Child Relationships (Books) #490 in Popular Child Psychology | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 205 Reviews | ## Images ![Coming home to Self: The Adopted Child Grows Up - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815JihGNzKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deeply validating for adult adoptees *by V***M on February 5, 2026* Coming Home to Self by Nancy Verrier is a powerful and deeply validating book for adoptees.

I'll just start with the fact that I'm adopted, I have a brother I grew up with that was also adopted (from another family). We approached life in very different ways. I read this book initially as a teenager, and recently re-read it as an adult. The author nails it to a T. It was so nice to read that I wasnt the only one feeling this way and it helped explain some of my childhood behavior that at the time I couldnt cope with. This book is so important for adoptive parents to read. It gives light to how a lot of adoptive mothers feel about their adopted child and helps provide some coping mechanisms. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4197861-coming-home-to-self-the-adopted-child-grows-up](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4197861-coming-home-to-self-the-adopted-child-grows-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
