		<description><![CDATA[Books about adoption, whether fiction or memoir, hold a special fascination for me, and always will. Some of my own experiences as an adoptee are documented in the &#8220;adoption&#8221; category of this blog. Which is why Dave Hill&#8217;s book &#8220;The Adoption&#8221; caught my attention. Dave, a fellow Brit and blogger, has become a virtual friend [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=673&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The possibility of a meeting was not mentioned at first, as both of us were treading carefully, anxious not to rush things and frighten the other away. So we began by exchanging photographs, and more letters. Obviously I look nothing like my adoptive family. My sisters both have wavy auburn hair and freckles and are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=139&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Home from work, I reached into the post box and pulled out a handful of junk mail. And also a cream coloured envelope with an unfamiliar postmark. I had seen the handwriting on the envelope once before: it matched the signature on my adoption paperwork. It felt as though all the blood was draining out [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=134&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The year was 1972. In those days it was the done thing for single teenage mums to have their children adopted. My biological mother was fifteen when she realised she was pregnant, and no longer seeing her boyfriend. I was adopted at birth by a couple who had been unable to conceive and had spent [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=133&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
