'This paper discusses my quest for a narrative means to give voice to the story of my adoption. Using practice-led research to explore my adoption experience, I wrote a memoir entitled ‘Darling Adopted Daughter’ for the degree of Doctor of Creative Arts at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC).
