About Forced Adoption

"A Riveting story about an ordinary person with an extraordinary life " - Bruce Sims, Australian Editor and Publisher Forced adoption practices in Australia during the mid-1900's impacted the lives of countless relinquishing mothers and adoptees. For a long time, the secrecy surrounding these adoptions resulted in thousands of displaced children growing up without knowing their identity, biological parents, or what circumstances surrounded their adoption. This secrecy, fueled with guilt and shame, led to the disruption and trauma of so many lives. Based on actual events, the author shares her compelling story, as she is reunited with her birth mother, revealing the truth behind her very existence, and why she was placed for adoption, while exposing the challenges and traumas she has faced throughout her life. As this heart-warming story of bravery and resilience explores the long-term impacts of adoption, the author offers insights, and hopes to assist others in navigating their own emotional struggles, while striving to increase awareness in a world where forced adoption has been suppressed, shining light into a dark period of history, creating space for a nation to continue the journey of healing.
