Adoption Undone

Description
Not every relationship is built to last. But when adopters are totally committed to offering a child a permanent home, a severance of relationships between the adopted child and their adoptive parents is particularly harrowing.
This is the true story of an adoption and an adoption breakdown, bravely told by the adoptive mother. From the final court hearing, when Lucy returned to local authority care, Karen Carr looks back over the four years that Lucy was with them and, without apportioning blame, describes what went wrong and why. She doesn t spare herself, her family or the social workers, and she paints a touching picture of Lucy at the centre of events, which she triggers but cannot understand.
However, this is not only a tale of loss and regret but also of courage, generosity and self-discovery.
This will be a riveting read for anyone who is interested in the adoption process and how this can affect adults and children.
