And This Is My Adopted Daughter

An abusive fostering led to Polly being adopted at nine months by a couple wanting a sister for their three-year-old daughter. Finding out she was adopted during a playground argument changed her life forever. This book is a compellingly honest and open account of events in her life that had a major emotional impact. It is the story of her complicated relationships with her adoptive mother and her biological mother, whom she traced at the age of thirty-seven. Nothing was straightforward; she could never have predicted the outcome. Polly Fielding is the author of several books on a variety of subjects, including Paris, Mindfulness, Haemophilia and the 5:2 Diet. She is also a keen artist.
