Anne Bauer
Biography
Anne Bauer
Anne Bauer was inspired to write a true account of her life as an adopted individual in the hopes of raising awareness of civil rights of adoptees and instigating reform in the current laws pertaining to adoptee records.
She was born in the state of New Jersey and surrendered by her birth mother to a Catholic adoption agency. At ten days old, Anne was placed into the home of her adoptive family. Her parents told Anne at a very early age about her adoption status, however, no further knowledge about her origins was divulged. She was simply told there were other parents, and yet, at the same time, was expected to pretend they didn't matter anymore --- they didn't exist.
After years of silenced questions, Anne searches in order to uncover her origins against walls of opposition from her family and society. The Sound of Hope is her story.
Anne currently lives in northern New Jersey with her husband and their three children.
