From nothing, she had to craft something, and that something happened to be all of her.

Baby Girl was born in an unknown city to unknown parents. She lived for nine days before all evidence of her existence was locked away somewhere in Florida. Baby Girl would be reborn K.C. Sanford to live a new life in a new family. Since learning of her adoption as a child, K.C. struggled to understand her sense of self. She fell victim to the closed adoption system where knowing your identity was against the law. Who is K.C. Sanford? Decades of searching and a message from a stranger would start to unravel the mystery.

"K. C. Sanford's STORKED! (Adoption Secrecy and the Search for Identity) narrates the emotional true life story of a child in a "closed" adoption situation, along with the feelings that come with such secrecy. This memoir reads like a mystery, as it invites the reader to follow the author's quest to find her biological parents, navigating the laws which hinder her in doing so." —IndieReader (IR Approved)
