Hi there,
I'm a New York-based writer currently at work on a book about being wrong -- that is, about what happens when our beliefs about the world fail us. (I've included a few professional credentials and a brief description of the book below).
As part of my research, I'm interested in hearing from people who believed they were biological members of the family in which they were raised, only to find out later that they were adopted. If you have a story that you would be willing to share, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Kathryn Schulz

From the origins of the universe to who left the lights on, our convictions about the world define our allegiances, determine our paths, and sustain our sense of self -- right up until they prove wrong. In a book to be published by Ecco/HarperCollins, I will examine the psychological, political, and moral consequences of being wrong, and will suggest that our capacity to err, far from being an unwelcome anomaly, is central to some of our most necessary and most human qualities: individuality, courage, imagination, humor, and hope.
As a freelance journalist, my work has appeared in publications ranging from Rolling Stone to The Nation to The New York Times Magazine.
