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 bear 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.

For most adoptees like Jeff, there are critical elements missing in their lives. No matter how well they were loved and cared for by their adoptive parents, it's not enough to carry on through life without identifying who created them or the circumstances that led to their adoption. All human beings have an innate desire to identify with someone of similar genetic traits.

This book describes his insatiable desire to determine his genetic 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.

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.

About the Author

Jeff is a married father of two adult children, the grandfather of two grandchildren, and has spent the greater part of his life living in Las Vegas, Nevada. He's a former physicist and a retired business owner, and he has found writing to be a passion. He also has a passion for helping fellow adoptees identify their biological origins.

In his second book, "Rescued at Birth", Jeff describes in great detail his journey to find closure as he attempts to identify the origins of his biological roots. His book will help fellow adoptees learn techniques required for searching and also help them identify with someone of like kind. His book will also help non-adoptees understand what it's like to never know anything about their origins and the deep desires most adoptees have to uncover the identity of their birth parents.
