Lawrence P. Adams, author of Lost Son? A Bastard Child's Journey of Hope, Search, Discovery and Healing: shares an inspiring story in both book and speech needed to be heard by everyone. 

While it depicts the life of the author, it also addresses the flaws in the foster care system in this country and the consequences that befall the children in our country...those who do not have a voice. 

It is heart-wrenching, and hard not to be moved when read or heard. You journey through his life story feeling as though you are a part of it...feeling the heartache, the betrayal and the good. He writes of his pain and suffering, turning those into forgiveness, growth and healing offers a lesson in perspective to all of us. 

Never once does the author portray himself as a victim...but as a survivor who savors life! He will inspire and motivate you to change your life as well as the system in which he was forced to grow up in. 

Midland, MI (PRWEB) August 9, 2004 -- This is the true story of a child born to a nineteen year old unwed mother. Placed lovingly for adoption, he is instead thrust into the quagmire of the Michigan foster care system. "Stability" would be a word found in a dictionary, not in daily life, as he is moved fourteen times in eleven years. He is finally rescued and given a "home" at Boys Town. At eighteen, cast into the world of the unknown, without anyone or anyplace to call home, he goes forth with only hope and determination. Growing into adulthood, he searches for birth parents, an unknown heritage and sexual identity. Discovery of "true self" enables him to confront and overcome brutal and emotionally damaging realities from childhood which can no longer stay buried deep within his memory. This is the story of his difficult life battle, but more importantly, his ultimate victory...healing!
