"The baby explodes into an unknown world that is only knowable through some kind of a story – of course that is how we all live, it’s the narrative of our lives, but adoption drops you into the story after it has started.

The feeling that something is missing never, ever leaves you – and it can’t, and it shouldn’t, because something is missing."
