Love Child by Sue Elliott

Telling her own story of growing up as an adopted child, the author details her emotional search for, and meeting with, her birth mother, Marjorie. She also tells the tale of how Marjorie came to give her up for adoption in 1950s England. Drawing on a range of personal experiences, she outlines the forces that shaped twentieth-century adoption.
