Nobody's Child by Kate Adie

Inspired by her own circumstances as an adopted child Kate Adie
explores the lives of those who have survived the experience of abandonment. Each chapter begins with a simple question. When
were you born? What is you mother's name? What is your religion?Questions adopted children may not be able to answer. Having recently read Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin I particularly enjoyed the chapter Where is your home? which concerns the history of the foundling hospitals. Took a while to get into this book but glad I stuck with it.
