Fascinating look into the early 20th century world of adoption in Kansas City, Missouri. "More Voices of The Willows" is a follow up to "Mansion on a Hill: The Story of The Willows Maternity Sanitarium and the Adoption Hub of America." Adoptees and birth mothers share heartwarming and sometimes heart wrenching reunion stories. Ranging from 1908 until 1969, these twenty-two voices express the common threads of needing to know who am I, what is my family background and medical history, fear of hurting adoptive parents' feelings, and guilt for being forced to give up a baby under difficult circumstances.One voice is a past Kansas governor who was a Willows baby and wrote about his being chosen by his adoptive parents. Another is an adoptee finding her ninety-year-old biological parents and learning they had eloped after finding out the young woman was pregnant. Upon telling their parents, the young bride was forced to go to The Willows and give up their baby for adoption. Readers will be amazed at the incredible story of a man who was born at The Willows, adopted multiple times, lived at Boys Town, was homeless, and eventually became a merchant marine at sixteen. These are just three of the amazing stories. New details about The Willows that has been discovered since the release of "Mansion on a Hill" is shared. In addition, there is information about other maternity homes and homes for infants that resided in Kansas City in the early 1900s. These include The Fairmount Maternity Hospital, Florence Crittenton Homes, St. Vincent’s Maternity Home, St. Anthony's Home for Infants, East Side Maternity Hospital, Kansas City Cradle, and The Veil Maternity Hospital. There were dozens of homes for pregnant, unwed women that led to Kansas City being tagged the Adoption Hub of America. This was such a wonderful experience writing this book. My first book was very personal about my mother's search for and reunion with her birth mother. The second book was such an eyeopener as I learned about The Willows and heard from those with a Willows connection to share their story. Little did I know where that book would lead and that I would hear from so many from all over the country. I have enjoyed getting to know each of those who shared their stories. Lifelong friendships have been developed. I am so grateful to the birth mothers and adoptees who were open in sharing their stories in this book. Each story is unique but they all have so much in common. I continue to learn more about The Willows. I was glad to include what I have learned since Mansion on a Hill was published. In this book I also share what I have discovered about some of the other Kansas City maternity hospitals. The more I learn about the other facilities, the more I appreciate that my grandmother was sent to The Willows. I hope you enjoy More Voices of The Willows.  KelLee has enjoyed many different careers.
