Perpetual Child: Adult Adoptee Anthology: Dismantling the Stereotype

"The Perpetual Child: Adult Adoptee Anthology features a collection of stories,
poetry, and essays aimed at confronting the "perpetual child stereotype" faced
by adult adoptees. The pieces contained within this anthology will implore
readers to look deeply into their own ideas about what it means to be adopted
and to empathize with the experience of being viewed as a child into
adulthood." Amanda H.L. Transue-Woolston
