Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, the author and her husband traveled to Romania to adopt their two-year old son. Upon arrival, they received the shocking news that he had a twin sister with special needs living at the same orphanage. Legends of the Twins Cirpaci describes their frantic three-year effort to adopt her and reunite her with her brother, all in the midst of Romania's moratorium on intercountry adoption as the country attempted to join the European Union. The book also recounts the deleterious impact of Romania's harsh orphanage system on the children's development in various areas of their lives, and their courage in overcoming these challenges. Compelling and poignant, this is a story that every parent (not just adoptive parent) could benefit from reading. Unlike many adoption books, it also includes the twins' perspectives on what happened to them. As such, older adopted children might also find it helpful. Both biography and parenting narrative, it describes a nearly unbelievable (but it really did happen!) situation in a relatable way. Filled with humor and heart, Legends of the Twins Cirpaci is ultimately a triumph of the extraordinary power of care, the capacity of human beings to overcome severe deprivation, and the beauty of the human spirit. Legends of the Twins Cirpaci is a heart-warming and sometimes heart-wrenching tale of a journey of love, determination, patience, and humor. Reading it is a reminder of all that family can be in its best incarnation, and that belonging does not depend on biology. A wonderful, funny read. Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America; author of Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2022 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title Takes the first in-depth look at the New York City adoption agency that separated twins and triplets in the 1960s, and the controversial and disturbing study that tracked the children’s development while never telling their adoptive parents that they were raising a “singleton twin.” In the early 1960s, the head of a prominent New York City Child Development Center and a psychiatrist from Columbia University launched a study designed to track the development of twins and triplets given up for adoption and raised by different families. The controversial and disturbing catch? None of the adoptive parents had been told that they were raising a twin—the study’s investigators insisted that the separation be kept secret. Here, Nancy Segal reveals the inside stories of the agency that separated the twins, and the collaborating psychiatrists who, along with their cadre of colleagues, observed the twins until they turned twelve. This study, far outside the mainstream of scientific twin research, was not widely known to scholars or the general public until it caught the attention of documentary filmmakers whose recent films, Three Identical Strangers and The Twinning Reaction,left viewers shocked, angered, saddened and wanting to know more. Interviews with colleagues, friends and family members of the agency’s psychiatric consultant and the study’s principal investigator, as well as a former agency administrator, research assistants, journalists, ethicists, attorneys, and—most importantly--the twins and their families who were unwitting participants in this controversial study, are riveting. Through records, letters and other documents, Segal further discloses the investigators’ attempts to engage other agencies in separating twins, their efforts to avoid media exposure, their worries over informed consent issues in the 1970s and the steps taken toward avoiding lawsuits while hoping to enjoy the fruits of publication. Segal's spellbinding stories of the twins’ separation, loss and reunion offers readers the behind-the-scenes details that, until now, have been lost to the archives of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of a City and its people. In 1912, Lawrence, Massachusetts was referred to as a Mill Town, run by the whistles and bells of mills and churches. Pasquale Foenia lived there with his parents, and people from over fifty nations, lured there by Yankee aristocracy promising them food, shelter and work. Instead, they found dangerous working conditions and 60 hours of tedious work for $6.00 a week. On a cold day in January, one of the greatest mass protests in American history took place, the Bread and Roses Strike. Wages were cut and thousands of workers walked out. Strikers, mostly women and children, were met with militia and fire hoses. The killer 1918 Spanish Flu has many parallels to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. What is unique about THREE WHISTLES is that the author challenges the myths perpetrated by movies and social media about the ultimate search for the American dream. She draws from a War hero captured by the Germans in World War II and a number of little known diaries. It is an historical look at how immigrant families persevered, their hopes, prejudices and love during the early twentieth century. This is a saga about family life; struggling to be Americans while holding onto their roots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At twenty-one years old, Hope O Baker made one of the hardest decisions a person can make: she placed her son for adoption. She lived with her son's adoptive mother while she was pregnant and pursued an open adoption. After her son was born, Hope tried to resume her life. But the difficulty of letting her child go gnawed at Hope. Even though she had it together on the outside--graduating college and excelling in her career--on the inside she was battling a destructive cycle of depression and addiction. When life was at its darkest, Hope managed to find her way back to the light. It's a journey she continues to this day. Now, in this love letter to her son, Hope shows how messy and chaotically beautiful adoption can be, by sharing the authentic details of her remarkable story. From her struggles, you'll see how community can help you rebuild and be reminded of how important it is to find your voice and speak up for what you need when life hands you unexpected difficulties.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book The shocking truth about postwar adoption in America, told through the bittersweet story of one teenager, the son she was forced to relinquish, and their search to find each other. “[T]his book about the past might foreshadow a coming shift in the future… ‘I don’t think any legislators in those states who are anti-abortion are actually thinking, “Oh, great, these single women are gonna raise more children.” No, their hope is that those children will be placed for adoption. But is that the reality? I doubt it.’”[says Glaser]” -Mother Jones During the Baby Boom in 1960s America, women were encouraged to stay home and raise large families, but sex and childbirth were taboo subjects. Premarital sex was common, but birth control was hard to get and abortion was illegal. In 1961, sixteen-year-old Margaret Erle fell in love and became pregnant. Her enraged family sent her to a maternity home, where social workers threatened her with jail until she signed away her parental rights. Her son vanished, his whereabouts and new identity known only to an adoption agency that would never share the slightest detail about his fate. The adoption business was founded on secrecy and lies. American Baby lays out how a lucrative and exploitative industry removed children from their birth mothers and placed them with hopeful families, fabricating stories about infants' origins and destinations, then closing the door firmly between the parties forever. Adoption agencies and other organizations that purported to help pregnant women struck unethical deals with doctors and researchers for pseudoscientific "assessments," and shamed millions of women into surrendering their children. The identities of many who were adopted or who surrendered a child in the postwar decades are still locked in sealed files. Gabrielle Glaser dramatically illustrates in Margaret and David’s tale--one they share with millions of Americans—a story of loss, love, and the search for identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patricia Moffat was not an abused child, nor was she separated at a young age from her original culture. Yet, growing up in the closed adoption system in northern California, Patricia always felt a yawning gap at the beginning of her life, and a sense of loss and sadness. She yearned to know who her birthmother was, and why she had given her away. In her twenties, after an abortion and the births of her two children, which pulled her back emotionally to her beginnings, she became filled with determination to find her original family. In the late 1970s, there was no internet to help, or genetic testing companies, or even adoption registries where today birthparents and adoptees can often connect quickly. Patricia's search was done by old-fashioned sleuthing with just a few clues, including her birthmother's last name, to go on. Her successful search and reunion brought happiness as well as difficulties. The reunion with her birthmother and family was joyous, but Patricia's adoptive mother felt threatened by the sudden appearance of another mother in their lives. She Turned Her Head Away is a memoir that speaks powerfully of the emotions commonly felt by adopted children and adult adoptees, of questions of identity, and experiences of family and belonging. It is especially relevant today, as commercial genetic testing companies can reveal family secrets and uncover emotions that may have been buried for years. She Turned Her Head Away is a heart-stopping story that is hard to put down.

In this tale of child abuse in New Hampshire, readers discover the rest of the story of Kevin, a preschool boy. In the previous book, readers saw that the police were powerless to help Kevin. The state's child protection department was too overwhelmed and understaffed to do anything, either. Kevin was at the mercy of abuse by his mother, Ann, and neglect by his father, Joe. In this sequel, you'll learn more about Joe's darker side and how far Ann would go, putting her own needs ahead of Kevin's. And, you'll find out what happened to Kevin. It's not a "happily ever after" story, but it brings closure to Kevin's plight. Based on a true story that unfolded in New Hampshire during 2011 - 2013.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of two siblings, two 'illegitimate' children bonded with love, ambiguous origins and a destiny determined to keep them apart. Author Catherine Taylor takes time out from writing erotic fiction to relate her true-life story of growing up as an adopted child with her foster brother Michael. This often harrowing tale reveals their lives in the sixties and seventies, and through to Mother's Day 1985 when Michael suddenly vanishes from her life. In 2017, Catherine sets out to resolve the facts surrounding her adoption by taking a DNA test. The results are not what she expects. An ambitious undertaking follows using genealogy records, DNA-matched relatives and the construction of a family tree of over three thousand people. As pieces began to fall into place, her search takes an unexpected turn. While seeking an elusive parent, Catherine is vastly unprepared to receive news of Michael. The closed door of an unsolved mystery is suddenly thrown wide open and Catherine is faced with an aftermath affecting many more lives than her own.
