Product: RELINQUISHED: An Adoption Memoir
First, there was September’s Child.  It was a remarkable true story.  C.A. Staff published it in 2014.  If you have not read September's Child, read that first to gain understanding. Then along came Journey To My Past - A DNA Adventure.  D.R. Meyers published that in 2018.  C.A. Staff and D.R. Meyers are the same people.   
Her relinquishment rippled throughout her life.  Her big sister cared for her during her first two years. Their alcoholic mother stayed gone for days at a time.  Her subsequent adoption resinated her rocky beginning. This is the story that gave new meaning to adoption. Stories like this help make states change their adoption laws.
