Patti Eddington always knew she was adopted, and her beloved parents
seemed amenable enough to questions--but she never wanted to hurt them
by expressing curiosity, so she didn't. The story of her mother cutting
off and dying her hair when she was a toddler? She thought it was
eccentric and funny, nothing more. When she discovered at fifteen that
her birthday wasn't actually her birthday? She believed it when her
mother said she'd changed it to protect her from the "nosy old biddies"
who might try to discover her identity. what she thought she knew about
her origins. Determined to know the truth, she finally petitioned a
court to unseal records that had been locked up for almost sixty
years--and began to put the pieces of her past together, bit by
painstaking bit. Framed by a brief but poignant 1963 "Report of
Investigation" based on a caseworker's one-day visit to Patti's
childhood home, The Girl With Three Birthdays tells the story of an
adoptee who always believed she was the answer to a couple's
seventeen-year journey to become parents, until a manila envelope from a
rural county court arrived and caused her to question . . . everything.
