Our Separated Lives

0 - Default Title
Description
Our Separated Lives is a father's perspective on the Forced Adoption Era in 1970s Australia. There is very little written about this-the fathers of nearly 10,000 children adopted in 1970, or any other year, are notably silent. This heartfelt memoir encompasses the consequences of forced adoption, including profound regret, loss, and abandonment for all parties. It's a story of coercion and control, and how people 'stepping in' caused long term damage to the birth parents and the adopted child.It also examines the reunion with the adopted child and the implications of meeting them for the first time as an adult. Reunions are significant, but they don't make everything right. It can still be a rocky road from there!
