Barbara’s Book

Barbara Gonyo is the first pioneer to bring awareness to Genetic Sexual Attraction, beginning in the 1980s. She has gained the reputation as the world's leading GSA expert.

She wrote the only book on GSA called, "I'm His Mother, But He's Not My Son". The book contains her own personal story reuniting with her birth son who was placed for adoption and then reunited. In it, she suggests that romantic love and erotic arousal may be the delayed by-product of missed bonding that would have normally taken place between a mother and her newborn infant, or between siblings had they not been separated by adoption.

Barbara has appeared in many documentaries and TV and radio shows over the years on the issues of reunions due to adoption separation and sealed records. She is among those who fought the battle for open records and open adoptions so that GSA will never be a problem in the future.

In addition, she started the former GSA forum for those needing to understand and get support for this confusing and often painfully misunderstood condition in a reunion of people separated by adoption.

In January 2012, she joined SOAR- as an author and mentor to Carly Sullens and Julie DeNeen (SOAR’s co-founders) to help launch a blog aimed to bring more information to the general public about GSA. In February 2012, the new SOAR GSA forum was opened- becoming the future home of Barbara’s former GSA site.

Barbara, Carly, Julie and other authors are active writers on the blog and members on the forum that provide direct support to others. These mentors are all survivors of GSA, and make up the SOAR team. The SOAR Mission Statement .
