A inscription is visible on the half-title.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Robyn Cooper and her husband adopted two children, they were told not to ask about the birth mothers. Years later, New Zealand’s Adult Adoption Information Act opened a door that had long been closed, allowing Katrina and Aaron to seek the people and histories behind their beginnings. Cooper follows the reunions and their far-reaching effects, weaving them into memories of her own childhood and family life. With warmth, humour and candour, she describes the joy of belonging alongside illness, loss and the frustrations of dealing with impersonal institutions. This personal adoption story explores what happens when separate families discover that their lives are permanently connected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67619420176596,"sku":"TVJ-033221","price":6.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-033221-1.jpg?v=1790920515","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/don-t-ask-her-name-an-adoption-story-by-robyn-cooper","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
