Sinopsis

Jack Rocco was a baby when he was adopted by a blue-collar, Italian American family. Today a successful orthopedic surgeon, JackâÇÖs identity was built around his Italian heritage and while he knew the story of his 'Gotday,' he didnâÇÖt know the story of his birth day. His was a closed adoption, and he only knew that his birth parents were a young couple-an Italian father and a German Irish mother-who couldnâÇÖt afford a child.áRecycledátakes you along on JackâÇÖs journey of discovering his true but hidden identity. On a first date, Jack learns she was also adopted. As she describes finding and meeting her birth mother, Jack discovers that his belief about closed adoptions-that thereâÇÖs no way to obtain details-and the birth story heâÇÖs been told may not be accurate. He becomes obsessed, devouring books about adoption and adoption trauma. He tries to follow long and twisted tentacles of nurture, nature, and free will-which parts of him were due to genetics? The nurturing environment of his adoptive home? And which parts did he actually have control over?áAs some of the puzzle pieces of his life click into place, others remain disconnected and swirling out of reach. And then, he makes a discovery that shatters his very self-identity.ááIt was JackâÇÖs grandfather who coined the term 'recycled children.'áRecycledáis for those directly involved in adoption-adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents-and also for anybody wanting insight into the impact that early maternal and cultural separation has on a child. It is also for those coming to terms with mixed-race identity.áItâÇÖs one of the most thrilling, shocking, yet hopeful books about hidden identity and adoption that youâÇÖll read this year and may help you during your own identity inquiry.ááááá
