Second Edition: Orphaned, Fostered and Adopted: Second Edition

"A heartwarming and heart wrenching first person account of life in Filipino orphanages and foster care. A true 'overcome all odds to succeed' life story."

"You can imagine this in third world countries...and yet, many people did amazing work to help these children achieve as much normalcy as possible."

Orphaned, Fostered and Adopted is the first-person account of one young woman, put into the 'system' in pre-school and bounced back and forth among orphanages, foster homes, and her own family. Until one day she is finally adopted by an American family. This detailed memoir tells her story in vivid, often disturbing, narrative. And despite if all, overcoming it all, she becomes a fine and successful woman in the end.

Marissa Kline-Gonzales was born in the Philippines and tells her story from her mother's death, which puts her into an orphanage, through her successful career as a US flight attendant. She is currently married and has two children and still lives in the United States.
