Abandoned 43668…. Maria

I am the abandoned baby No 43668 – that was my name, Maria was added later. I am working in the field of adoption, research and re-uniting birth parents with their children because to me it is a personal matter. I am an adopted child and I know this part of life, as much as anyone can know it. My questions, my fantasies, whatever I had to struggle through during my life, drove me to research areas and fields I had never thought I would. I set up an organization with the help of other adopted people, I fought, I put forward reasonable and sometimes unreasonable requests, I got angry at the authorities until I realized that only by researching extensively and exhaustively would I bring the truth to light. So this book is a result of a long survey of the history of baby centers in Greece and the outcome of the stories of children who were given away through adoption.
