Touched by Adoption

A collection of stories, letters and poems about adoption and representing birth parents, adoptees, adoptive parents, and siblings. The collection includes stories of the early Orphan Trains, closed adoptions, searches, reunions, older adoptions, single parent adoptions, and open adoptions. Expectant parents share their fears and excitement. Seasoned adoptive parents reflect on parenthood. Adoptees searching and birthparents reflect on their experiences. No two contributions are alike. There are questions, discoveries, losses, insights, sorrows, and joys--all products of living life fully.
