Rescued at Birth is a breathtaking story about identity, belonging, and family. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to grow up never physically identifying with anyone, or seeing pictures of immediate family members who bare any resemblance to you? For Jeff Eddins, he spent most of his life feeling like he came from nowhere - but he knew he had to come from somewhere.

This book describes his insatiable desire to determine his origins while attempting to find as much closure as possible. It is a thoughtful representation of the complexities of adopted life, and a place for non-adoptees to understand what being adopted feels like. Join Jeff on his emotional rollercoaster of a journey to uncover his biological origins.

Fate has a way of impacting people in different ways. For an adoptee, their fate was determined by the birthmother who surrendered them to adoption. Not one single element of that was ever in the adoptee's control. Was the birth mother's decision to disengage the best for the child or the mother? Is there ever any way to determine that?

For most adoptees like Jeff, there are critical elements missing in their lives. And no matter how well they were loved and cared for by their adoptive parents, it's not enough to carry on through life without understanding the origins and circumstances that led to adoption. All human beings have an innate and insatiable desire to identify with someone of similar genetic traits. It is quite easy for non-adoptees to take basic aspects of life for granted - even if it is as simple as knowing your ethnicity or that you have a brother or sister somewhere in the world.

This is a unique memoir that seeks to find answers to seemingly impossible questions. It takes readers on a compelling journey through ups and downs as Jeff embarks on a life-changing and life-defining quest to finally reveal the unanswered questions and secrets that have been hidden for most of his life.
