Download or read book Shameless written by Marilyn Churley and published by Between the Lines. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1960s, at the age of eighteen and living far from home amidst the thriving counterculture of Ottawa, Marilyn Churley got pregnant. Like thousands of other women of the time she kept the event a secret. Faced with few options, she gave the baby up for adoption. Over twenty years later, as the Ontario NDP government’s minister responsible for all birth, death, and adoption records, including those of her own child, Churley found herself in a surprising and powerful position – fully engaged in the long and difficult battle to reform adoption disclosure laws and find her son. Both a personal and political story, Shameless is a powerful memoir about a mother’s struggle with loss, love, secrets, and lies – and an adoption system shrouded in shame.

Download or read book 32 Years of Non Disclosure on Adoption written by Ernest Smallwood and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an autobiographical about the author's life growing up, then finding out at the age of thirty-two that he was adopted, and how such a fact has shaped him to be who he is todayA[a¬A]a true inspiration. The author's story is uplifting and inspiring. And though the author touches on some negative things that occurred in his life, he does not dwell on them in the story, which goes to show that this reflects the way he looks at life.As a father, I've been awed by my ability to cut through the traffic noise and the nonsense and go straight to the heart and soul of my relationship with my adopted parents, biological parents, and my adopted son. Emotionally charged, yet in astonishingly simple language representing the deepest of my thoughts, I made an effort to tell my audience what they needed to know as to how I handled my learning of my adoption 32 years later, and how it saved my life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Every mother, every father, every grandparent, every school teacher - in fact, everybody who cares about the future of the human race - can find important lessons through these personal stories, mine and others alike. I made every effort to be simplistic and informative, and to provide a down-to-earth description of how spirituality and reverence played a part in understanding this remarkable personal and spiritual journey I continue to explore.
