The Martian Child: A Novel About a Single Father Adopting a Son by David Gerrold
Requirements: ePUB, MOBI or AZW3 Reader, 1.2MB
Overview: How can one know about an adopted child?
All David Gerrold knew for certain was that he wanted to be a parent. As a single gay man he thought adoption would be the most direct route to fatherhood. But he soon found out to both his joy and dismay that the emotional route to fatherhood was anything but direct. In fact, it was a roller coaster ride that changed his life forever.
When he first saw the picture of eight-year-old Dennis beaming up at him from the photograph in the adoption book, David knew this was the boy for him.
But these were the facts: Abandoned as an infant by drug addicted parents. Documented abuse. Shuffled from one foster home to another. Deficit hyperactivity disorder. Ritalin to control his violent emotional outbursts. For his antisocial behavior: Disipramine. The conclusion from experts: Dennis was “hard to place.” A polite bureaucratic euphemism for unadoptable. It was a depressing assessment that David could not would not accept.
