IMPORTANT "HOW-TO" SEARCH BOOK FOR FINDING BIRTH PARENTS OR ADOPTED
CHILDREN IS PUBLISHED

Heritage Books/Willow Bend Books announce the publication of "Missing
Pieces, How to Find Birth Parents and Adoptive Children, by Paul Drake
and Beth Sherrill.  Here is a complete "how-to" find adopted children
or birth parents.  Such reunions are ever more in favor now, and
genealogists are eminently well trained to undertake such searches for
themselves or for others for hire.

Author Beth is a social worker by profession, who was surrendered over
to the adoption system at birth, she having been the only one of six
children given up for adoption by her mother.  Paul is a nationally
known genealogist and writer, both these authors residing in TN.
Included also is a chapter concerning the use of family medical
history in patient care, that section written by John B. Sherrill, MD,
a well-known Emory-trained physician with more than 20 years of
experience.

In planning a search for Beth's unknown birth parents without
identification or knowledge of those people, Paul and Beth found no
satisfactory search guidebooks on the market.  Having succeeded in
their efforts, they undertook exhaustive research and interviews with
others involved within adoption search and reunion problems.

The end product of their efforts is this moving tale of Beth's
discoveries and reunion with her birth parents and family, combined
with a complete "how-to" work through the emotional hurdles and the
maze of public and private records and details involved in any search
for birth parents or for children long ago adopted away.
