Somewhere Out There is a story of one person's experience with being adopted. Most adopted children do not have any medical history or accurate information on their story. The author's search for a medical history sheds light on the many barriers that adopted children face trying to get information.

Adopted from Homestead Maternity Home in Fort Worth, Texas, she learns how the agency "marketed" their services and the similar stories told to adoptive parents. "Birth mother: blonde hair blue eyes, flight attendant, which in her case did turn out to be true. Along with a professional "searcher," the author's curiosity and investigative skills lead to surprising answers.

As a professional counselor, the author explores the feelings of abandonment and emptiness that all adoptees have at some point. She shares how she came to find her adoptive family and how this doesn't necessarily make you whole.

Written in real-time, many emotions are explored during the search. The book has a few surprises of just how small the world can be: from Fort Worth, Texas, to Hilo, Hawaii. This book is an excellent read for anyone involved in the adoption process, from the adoptee, adoptive parent, birth family, or adoptive family. Also, a tremendous heartwarming story of love that anyone can enjoy. Self-acceptance is what everyone strives to have . . . searching for self . . . the answer is always somewhere out there.

Autorenporträt
She lived an idyllic life in small-town Texas, and Ronna Quimby Huckaby never lacked for love. She lived a life that could have been a 1950s television show. Bowie, Texas, much like Mayberry and a mother reminiscent of June Cleaver, was the setting for Ronna's first eighteen years. Ronna grew up knowing she was adopted but always had the thought in the back of her mind as to why she was given up for adoption and who were her birth parents. Despite the doubts and thoughts, she lived a happy and normal life. She was popular in school, active in her community, and respected by her peers. Following graduation from high school, Ronna earned a bachelor's degree and a Master of Education in counseling from the University of North Texas. She is a licensed professional counselor and board-approved counselor supervisor. Ronna has worked in the nonprofit field for 32 years, primarily working in the fields of domestic violence, homelessness, substance abuse, and poverty alleviation. Since 2013, Ronna has been the Chief Service Officer and VP of Operations at Catholic Charities Fort Worth. She serves on several local boards and is a member of the Tarrant County Women's Policy Forum. She currently lives in Fort Worth, Texas, with her husband Billy, three cats-Sonny, Raymond, and Dottie, and one dog, Beau. She loves spending time with her family and her two precious granddaughters, Presley, and Madilyn.
