Connecting Threads: Five Siblings Lost and Found is a powerful story of identity, belonging, and the resilience of the human spirit. All were separated by foster care and closed adoptions. One sibling's life and search for first family, belonging, and culture, one thread at a time.
A memoir.
A graphic memoir about siblings of Indigenous and European-American heritage who are taken from their first family, placed in foster care, and most were adopted-a story of the journey to find each other and their first family.
This is the story of the complex needs of adopted children that are often ignored when family and medical histories are missing. Children in foster care and adoptive families have many losses, including loss of family, culture, heritage, and a sense of belonging and continuity that can leave them feeling unconnected. The trauma of changing families causes identity confusion, even in those with loving and supportive families.
