Dear Reader, I want to share with you the childhood experiences that have inspired me to think outside the box. It's a story that has challenged my beliefs, opened my mind to new possibilities, and encouraged me to embrace the unknown. I started writing this memoir after my adoptive mother died from cancer in 1997 when I was twenty-five years old. Writing about my childhood was a way to cope with the struggles in life, such as my adoptive father's traumatic brain injury, which drastically changed our lives in 1984. My memoir is more than just about adapting; it was a challenge to break free from the limitations of my thinking and to explore the world around me with curiosity and wonder. I hope that you will be inspired to question the status quo in which you might find yourself, challenge your assumptions, and discover new ways of looking at the world. This memoir focuses on why and how my family went from "normal" to "paranormal" during what I refer to as the "dark" ages of my life. So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of discovery and explore the boundaries of your imagination with me, this is the book for you. Remember, the world is full of endless adventures, and I'd love for you to join me as I journey into discovering another time and place--the 1970s and 80s! Happy reading, and may you be blessed with all the good luck the universe has to offer. Your new friend, Janine PS To fellow adoptee-rights activists, please note that I do not address adoption politics, the investigations against the evangelical adoption agencies, or child trafficking in this childhood memoir of mine.
