På denne side vil der som jeg finder det og kommer igennem bunkerne komme tips og tricks, når du skal søge dine rødder dels i Tyskland og dels i USA. Og jeg vil fortælle, hvordan det går med, at finde ud af mere om min tyske biologiske mor og hendes familie og ikke mindst min far, som var amerikansk soldat i Berlin. Jeg har mange adresser liggende, men i disse internettider håber jeg at rejsen bliver lettere. Der er lidt om min baggrund her. Og alt hvad der handler om adoption ligger i kategorien Adoption.

Skriv gerne dine erfaringer med søgning i Tyskland og USA eller spørgsmål til mig enten på mail, hvis du ikke vil være offentlig eller skriv en kommentar her el. kontakt mig for gæstelogin/blog, eller jeg kan skrive din historie, hvis du kunne tænke dig, at dele din historie. Jeg glæder mig til at høre fra jer.

Novels

:

Salvage – Keren David
Aidan Jones was my brother. But I couldn’t really remember his face. I couldn’t remember talking to him or playing with him. He was just a gap, an absence, a missing person. Before she was adopted by a loving family and raised in a leafy Home Counties town, Cass Montgomery was Cass Jones. Her memories of her birth family disappeared with her name. But when her adopted family starts to break down…..

De syv søstre serien af Lucinda Riley – De syv søstre, Stormsøsteren, Skyggesøsteren, Perlesøsteren – iøvrigt er adoption et gennemgående element i flere af forfatterens bøger. Uanset skriver hun fantastisk, så intet forgjort i at “komme til” at læse en for meget.

OBS! – These books are originally in English: The Seven Sisters, The Stormsister, The Shadow Sister and The Pearl Sister!

Adoption – Victoria L. Sulivan
When six-year-old Mary’s mother dies unexpectedly, she is “adopted” by her neighbors, Val and David. But nothing about Mary or her adoption is normal. She’s a giant-nearly seven feet tall, brilliant and beautiful, the result of her mother’s in vitro fertilization at a clinic in Vermilion, Louisiana. What happened? Did something go wrong? Or was it planned by doctors experimenting on humans?

Virkelige hændelser

Vi ses en dag – af Heidi Korsgaard & Helle Fromberg Hammarström (2017) – personlige fortælling om et adoptionsforløb, som bragte Helle og hendes mand den største lykke, da de fik mulighed for at adoptere en lille dreng fra Brasilien. Men det er samtidig historien om, hvordan denne lykke blev sat på den ultimative prøve, da Helle efter hjemkomsten blev alvorligt syg med brystkræft.

Farvel Jessica – Robby DeBoer
(Virkelighedens verden, Virkelighedens verden) En adoptivmor beretter om kampen for at beholde forældremyndigheden over sin datter, da den biologiske mor forlanger at få hende tilbage

Ovenfor er linkene, der er relevante for mig og andre med rødder i USA/Tyskland/østeuropa, men her kan du se Sammenslutningen af Slægtshistoriske Foreninger’s samling af links.Er du adopteret fra Kina, Vietnam eller Columbia f.eks. er der grupper og foreninger for dem også. Med udbygning af nettet, er mulighederne endeløse. Og finder du ikke lige det, DU søger, står det dig altid frit for, at lave en gruppe selv.
