If you are searching for a story, than I suggest David Pelzer, his fourth book, I do not have the title at the moment.

It is interesting...but not professional book.

Hi TAS - I just saw a reference to this book - The Primal Wound - and thought of you.

I haven't read it and know very little about it, but it was recommended by someone in a facebook thread on adoption, and I thought I'd pass it on.

Thank you Ninna I have heard of David Pelzer. It may be a little too triggering, given his history. I will check out his books on Amazon. Thanks for the recommendation. I do appreciate it!

Jones: I will definitely check the book recommendation out. Thank you for thinking of me The book title seems in line with what I am looking for.

Hi TAS -

No worries. I also was thinking of posting the link below, and hesitated. It's to a recent Reuters 5-part expose on the abusive practice of informal adoption 'rehoming'.

I hesitated because basically it's so full of triggers - as well as being not exactly what you were looking for - but I'll leave it to you to decide whether to read or not, if you haven't seen it already. It's pretty harrowing. But perhaps there is something there that might also helpfully speak to your experience of foster care. I'm so sorry that you went through the loss of your parents, and all the aftermath.

TRIGGERS for repeated abandonment, abuse, systemic failure.
