A nervous couple brings someone else s child into their lives.
Parents struggle to accept their teenager s pregnancy.
A child grows up vaguely aware of some stream of knowing untraceable to his or her upbringing. Born to one ethnic group but raised within another, a child comes of age with mixed allegiances. A man sets out to find his birth mother. A woman is horrified to hear from the adult that the baby she never saw has become. Variations on the theme of adoption are infinite and kindle deep and contrary feelings about the body, the self, family, love, home, and heritage.
