It is the tale of two mothers and their connection to one\nchild. One mother was shamed because she had a child and the other\nbecause she couldn&#8217;t. I am one of 3,500 Greek orphans adopted to the\nU.S. in the 1950s. Conceived in an act of violence, I was born to an\nunwed mother who was exiled from her island home for 44 years.\nHomeless and seven months pregnant in a large mainland city, she\ncould not care for me and lost me to foreign adoption. Raised in\nCalifornia, I returned to Greece when I was 30 where, through a\nseries of life-changing events, I reconnected with my birth mother.\nFinally, as the orphaned child, I tell my story. Based on documents\nand oral histories given by both mothers, and my experiences, it is a\ntale so miraculous it reads like fiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SWWRRA is hosting the gifted author, Maria Heckinger.
