What We Lost: Undoing The Fairy Tale Narrative Of Adoption - The Rumpus.net

January 3 is my Special Day. It is the anniversary of the day I was adopted. The day my parents bundled me up and brought me home to live in our red brick ranch house on West Chicago St. in a sprawling suburb just outside Detroit. As I grew up, I would hear the tale of this auspicious day time and time again. Sometimes even now, in my thirties, my parents like to retell it. Their eyes still shine with something expectant, something new.

I think this is an important book because it conveys so well the true feelings of an adoptee and how those feelings are not bedimmed by time and age. There is no substitute for our bond with our birth mother.

Best selling author Sheila Jeffries, on the memoir ‘Identity Reclaimed: Echoes of an Adoptee”. Visit her website by clicking on the link below. Among her wonderful books is one about an abandoned child, rescued by a cat, and later adopted. It is entitled ‘Solomon’s Kitten’.
