The Story Behind This Book
Throughout my life, I have had friends and acquaintances I have met who were adopted; some had unsealed their adoption papers and found one or both adoptive parents; others had not. In 2010, I feel fell in love with a man who had been adopted. He was gentle, loving, and kind, but had many questions and insecurities about his adoption. Unfortunately, there were no records to unseal. Even before this, I had wondered what it feel like to never know your adoptive parents, and if you did meet them, what would you say? Would there be anger? Remorse? Adding to this concept, I spent months researching not only adoption, but the Roe v Wade case, along with how the rubella vaccine was found. Putting all of the research together, Hush was born.
