Nobody's Child
What's it like to be an abandoned child? Kate Adie unravels the stories of many of those who've come through the ordeal and reveals where life has taken those brought up without a mother and father - or sometimes even a name of their own. Curious because of her own experience as an adopted child, she looks at issues of abandonment in different parts of the world from Russia to China from the USA to Britain, through history from the first Foundling Hospital in the 18th century to the present means of foster care, and from the moral standpoint of our current laws - from every perspective Kate Adie brings us a personal, moving and fascinating insight into the very toughest of childhood experiences - and shows what makes us who we really are.
