Search: A Handbook for Adoptees and Birthparents

Now in its third edition, this widely acclaimed resource provides an honest and detailed guide for adoptees and their birthparents. It offers a wealth of ideas, advice, resources, and encouragement to anyone considering embarking on his or her own journey of discovery. Drawing from personal experience as well as from extensive research, author Jayne Askin presents creative ways to overcome obstacles and attack problems that occur during the search process.

JAYNE ASKINs arduous search for the identity of her own birthparents led her to write Search: A Handbook for Adoptees and Birthparents. In 1997, a court ruling opened birth and adoption records in Tennessee for the first time, and she received copies of all her records. Askin now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. She was a contributing author to the Seattle Survival Guide.
