These are the books we gave our daughter's birth mom:

Dear Birthmother
By Kathleen Silber, Phyllis Speedlin

The Open Adoption Experience - A Complete Guide for Adoptive and Birth Families
By Lois Ruskai Melina

A Treasury of Adoption Miracles: True Stories of God's Presence Today (Miracle Books Collection)
By Karen Kingsbury

I also considered these:

Because I Loved You: A Birthmother's View of Open Adoption
By Patricia Dischler

I Choose This Day: Mournings and Miracles of Adoption
By Sharon Fieker, Lori Smith

My favorite read that might be appropriate was Dear Birthmother, by Kathleen Silber & Phyllis Speedlin.

You might also find some good books on the Forever Family Books website:  http://www.foreverfamilybooks.com/  Everything here is geared to adoption.
