The study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in Ohio of more than 6,500 students in grades 7 through 12 found that 7.6% of adopted adolescents had attempted suicide in the past year, compared with about 3% of their peers. "Adopted people suffer a loss that is never recognized--the loss of their original mother," explains Adoption Expert/Counselor Joe Soll. " No one acknowledges that this is a loss, so the child is never allowed to mourn. That pain, anger, and sadness build up inside--often the adoptee doesn't even realize why they are feeling this way. This is especially true for adolescents who are even more likely than adults to not recognize or acknowledge what causes their pain." "If a person lost her mother as an adult, and those around her refused to acknowledge it--she wasn't allowed to cry, there was no funeral, she was told there was no reason to feel sad--why, this could drive a perfectly stable person mad!" The author of Adoption Healing: A Path to Recovery, Joe Soll is a psychotherapist, an adoption educator, and the director and co-founder of three major adoption organizations. Courtrooms and media outlets alike frequently rely on his expertise. A media savvy guest based in NYC, Soll could easily do something on short notice.

But the fame is merely in the pen name. Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, is the unidentified literary genius behind the famous nom de plume, declares Shakespearean expert Paul Hemenway Altrocchi. Not the typical Shakespearean expert, Altrocchi earned his doctorate in medicine, not literature. In addition to his medical interests, however, he has held a lifelong passion for uncovering the true identity of "William Shakespeare." A second-generation member of the Shakespeare-Oxford Society, Altrocchi was inspired decades ago by his author-poet mother.
