About the Author
JAYNE ASKINs arduous search for the identity of her own birthparents led her to write Search: A Handbook for Adoptees and Birthparents. In 1997, a court ruling opened birth and adoption records in Tennessee for the first time, and she received copies of all her records. Askin now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. She was a contributing author to the Seattle Survival Guide.
