Hi Michele, I just published a chapbook that includes my adoptee experiences, too! So glad to find you. My chapbook is Sleeps With Knives and it’s on Amazon and Kindle. I wrote under a penname Laramie Harlow. I will definitely get this book you’re in! I will definitely mention this book on my blog Split Feathers!
