The Paperless Child

Janet Munro, Patricia Knight Meyer- Roots and Branches
What if you discovered that you were never legally adopted—and even your birth certificate was based on a lie?

Join Janet Munro on Roots and Branches: Adoption Stories as Patricia Knight Meyer shares her extraordinary journey from a black-market adoption in 1970 to a lifetime of searching for her true identity.

Handed over as an infant along a Texas hospital curb with no legal paperwork, Patricia grew up surrounded by family secrets, unanswered questions, and the fear that she might have been a stolen child.

In Part 1 of this powerful two-part conversation, Patricia reveals the shocking truth about her adoption, the challenges of her childhood, her search for her birth parents, and the emotional first connection with her birth father.

Patricia's newly released memoir, Wonderland: Memoir of a Black-Market Adoption, takes readers even deeper into her remarkable story.
