- "I Love You Like Crazy Cakes" had me crying in the bookstore when I read through it. I am an adoptee -- found birthparents (although birthmom was not interested in a reunion), it was very difficult and not like the made for TV movies. I don't regret it, but it was a tremendous emotional upheaval. Best of luck to you.
