Hey greenbottles! Sorry it took me so long to read your post!!

Persian Girls, is a memior about a girl who lived in an OA for the first several years of her life, but was later returned to her birthparents when her birthfather essentially stole her from school one day.

It's VERY unique in that respect and isn't a good likeness of what OA's in the States are today - BUT I think it does a good job of talking about what it felt like from the adoptees point of view.

I too would be interested in finding out about other memiors, or even fictional books if they seem believable and accurate, that depict open adoptions.
