Has adoption touched your life? If you want to talk about adoption, we can help. (07) 3358 6666

The words in this book were not planned they grew from a strong desire to share my ‘untold’ story of self discovery – a search for identity after adoption.


It is a very honest and quite disarming decade of life changing decision making and the end of each chapter reflects on key elements of facing the fears.


The photos capture moments which existed for only a fraction of a second yet tell their own story. The quotes and poems are starting points that continue to change in meaning as Collette responds to a compelling call to see her life from the inside out.


Includes a Bonus CD

featuring the moving Jigsaw

song written by award winning guitarist, singer, songwriter

Glenn Brace as he connects to the thoughts of many adoptees.
