Anatomy of an Adopted Child

This is a book about my life as a young boy being adopted from an orphanage when I was 4 1/2 years old. The people adopting me were not prepared to have a child. There were many trials and tribulations during the years I was with my adopted parents.

I was adopted by a couple who thought their marriage would be repaired if theye were to bring a young child into their family. Not expecting the kind of difficulties they would have with a high-energy child, when they tried to communicate with this child they were unable to resolve issues in child behavior.
