"Jennifer Wallig does a great job explaining how hard it can be to search for a birth family after a closed adoption. Her struggles and the emotions of the journey make you feel like you're by her side for the roller-coaster ride. She captures the emotions of first contact and how to be patient when developing a new relationship. Finding Max is a must-read, even if you're not in the adoption arena; it's about family and inspiration."

-Marie Anderson, coordinator for the Adoptees' Liberty Movement Association (ALMA).

"The path to discovering one's origin story is often filled with stop signs, potholes, and detours, and when that path is for a loved one, the challenges can become tenfold. Jennifer's chronicle of this journey, not only for herself but for her father, is enthralling and interesting as she walks you through her travails, revelations, and discoveries. If you have ever wondered what it is like to find your origin story, this is a read to include on your list!"
