Aprašymas

Born-Child is a memoir in poetry which focuses on the dual status of the adopted child. Adopted children live in two worlds even in a successful adoption. There are always the biological parents and the adoptive parents which in many cases are not at odds. But for the child, especially the child adopted past infancy, there can be a struggle for identity.
This book of poems reveals the phases and emotions of that journey. How to become a person with two sets of parents, how to reconcile divided loyalties, and ultimately how to live as a whole person are here illuminated in thirty-three poems.
And, in the end, the author arrives at reconciliation and is able to "touch earth" just as the last poem describes.
