Description



About the Book



A Licensed Professional Counselor provides insight into the psychological impact of growing up adopted and eventually searching for her birth parents.



Book Synopsis



Somewhere Out There is a story of one person's experience with being adopted. Most adopted children do not have any medical history or accurate information on their story. The author's search for a medical history sheds light on the many barriers that adopted children face trying to get information.


Adopted from Homestead Maternity Home in Fort Worth, Texas, she learns how the agency "marketed" their services and the similar stories told to adoptive parents. "Birth mother: blonde hair blue eyes, flight attendant, which in her case did turn out to be true. Along with a professional "searcher," the author's curiosity and investigative skills lead to surprising answers.


As a professional counselor, the author explores the feelings of abandonment and emptiness that all adoptees have at some point. She shares how she came to find her adoptive family and how this doesn't necessarily make you whole.


Written in real-time, many emotions are explored during the search. The book has a few surprises of just how small the world can be: from Fort Worth, Texas, to Hilo, Hawaii. This book is an excellent read for anyone involved in the adoption process, from the adoptee, adoptive parent, birth family, or adoptive family. Also, a tremendous heartwarming story of love that anyone can enjoy. Self-acceptance is what everyone strives to have . . . searching for self . . . the answer is always somewhere out there.



Review Quotes




Ronna Huckaby has written a heartfelt book that will make you laugh and cry and give thanks once again for all the mothers and daughters out there.

Kathryn Jones, Author and Editor


As the executive director of one of the oldest adoption centers in Texas, I now have a deeper appreciation for all that Ronna experienced in her journey. I hope you enjoy sharing it with her as I have.

Sonyia Hartwell, MSSW Executive Director Hope Cottage


There is a deep wound that is left when you are adopted. The journey to heal that wound takes time but can be done. Ronna's story helped me to get closure and happiness although I have never met my birth parents.

Cynthia Cuellar, Adoptee


You will experience the fears, the joys, the feelings of abandonment from the adoptee to the feeling of shame felt by the birthmother. Acceptance and respect of each other is the ultimate goal in reunions and this is what you will get from "Somewhere Out There."

Polly Speed, Birthmother and Founder of Yahoo Homestead Maternity Group
