Summary: A different view
Review: A social statement defined by abuse, ignorance exploitation in greed and a lack of ethics and how it played in the application of life. Adoption or abortion that is the question is it life or death for the unborn within.
A Pregnancy resulting from a search for someone anyone to be at last loved by, this throwaway abused child/girl/woman. (The seed donator was Chris Swift from the Texas panhandle and a Pisces, who lied about being single to the girl looking for love)
The unmarried pregnant female barely able to survive wounded coming unwanted, from a life of abuse misuse exploitation fraught with humiliation, a tenth grade drop out. Contacted a married attorney known through a relative to arrange for a direct(not private) adoption.
Trust in the professional is the uneducated parameters of adoption, the requirement requested for the future parents (designated from the Ozzie and Harriet TV parents that had raised the unwed participant). The qualities they must have to receive this baby; religious, professional with college degrees, a settled childless couple who had desired a child a long time. If this couple could not be found then forget the adoption. They would have to pay the doctor for the penniless girl, and repay the pittance of cash she was able to borrow and live on.
Once the couple was found the written paper given to the attorney was to be inserted into the paperwork, medical contact information, if the child should ever need a body part the girl was available. To tell the parents the child was loved but for her future health and welfare could not be kept.
At 12:30 a.m.on the night of birth the laboring terrified christen girl was dropped on the outside steps of a dark forbidding catholic hospital her clicking heels underlined her abandonment by all, haloed beneath the night safety light in the mist of baby rain drops. How ironic the rain, alone, the silence.
The nurses/nuns led her off to a curtained off hospital examining rooms, voicing disapproval of single and pregnant. Led her to a bed and walked off. Another laboring woman screaming and yelling, the screaming had an odd singing mix of echoing voices and gleeful shouting from a card game. Two or three times that night someone stuck a head in and threw out you ok, the girl begged for the bathroom, the head dismissed her with a disrespectful shrug and tone use the bed pan.
The pain was great but one of familiarity and an old friend, she refused to scream this accomplished by biting holes on the inside of her mouth, this trick was learned in the many training sessions by her father to retain silence. The teacher of pain the lesson riveted around her circling her solo universe.
No one told her anything about having a baby, only sharing with that look you will find out, the huge scare. Well she was finding out like everything else she did alone; by herself with no one to share it with except the unamed infant demanding entrance into the world.
The girl used her hands, arms, and legs to intertwine in the antique bed railing her body hung slung sideway not on the bed at all now the pain eased dangling sideways from the railing the tiredness of clinging to the rail filtered awareness of the throbbing white hot pain enveloping her being.
Dawn of light stabbed from beneath the heavy curtains, shift change, new nurse, new attitude, Aw honey untangling the twisted girl from the rail, explaining it's accepted that a bed was messed in and not a shameful act. Then checked the progress yelling Oh my god! this girl is having a baby after touching the crowning head.
She was perfect in everyway, a full head of hair and delicate soft strong hands with long fingers. A quiet baby with large eyes. BEAUTIFUL
The delivery prevented by the ignorance of the girl accompanied by judgment of the uncaring night staff.
The unethical attorney lied. The baby grew up and wrote this book.
The Truth is relative. To all parties involved.
Everyone should know their birthright.
That information was given with the baby at the time of transfer.
I hope writing Explication releases the negativism from the author past. The future is bright and fertile and the past used for learning.
Truth is whatever you think it is.
I think anyone thinking about adoption or adopting and trusting the system should read this book.
Kudo's to Jennifer Bryan for buying the right to state her mind for all to read.
You go girl!!!

Summary: Girl Interrupted
Review: Adolescent ramblings of a 30 something woman. I can't imagine this book providing insight to anyone. One thing that is obvious, is that this woman needs to start taking responsibility for herself, and stop blaming her adoptive parents, her birth mother, the school, the Hospital, etc. It will probably take a chunk of therapy. This woman has issues! This in not your typical adoptee.

Review: Adolesent ramblings of a disturbed young woman. With help all around the author wallows in self pity, and wants to Know why no one loves her for the ungrateful, shaved head, spiteful, pill popping,alcohol drinking, manipulative, promiscuous, runaway she admits she is. This poor woman needs therapy and I need my head examined for buying this book.

Summary: A Compelling Personal Account of an Adoptee's Experiences
Review: Not your basic Oprah-like happy reunion of adoptee and birth-family, this book details the very rocky and painful teen and young adult years of an adoptee as she searches for her identity and hopes to find it with her birthmother.Jen allows us to peek into the mind of a teen suffering genealogical bewilderment, a syndrome experienced by adoptees. In Explication, we share with Jen through her painful teen years, the joy and loss of her first love (a fellow adoptee), and the reunion with her birthmother and birthsisters. A compelling read, neither my daughter or I could put the book down. I highly recommend this book, whether you are an adoptee, a birthparent, or just looking for a good read.
