This is a bibliography of citations of Late Discovery and
related subjects (for instance, the social history of the
disclosure of adoption information to adoptees). I have also
included that old adoption chestnut, "The Bad Seed",
because, although it is a work of fiction and not research or
history,  it is a seminal historical reference point in adoptee
narrative, and it is also a Late Discovery narrative.

For those looking for a more comprehensive bibliography on
the full range of adoption-related subjects, I can think of none
better the William Gage's  "Reader's Guide to
Adoption-Related Literature."

This bibliography will remain a fluid document, hopefully it
will never be "finished" but will only get larger....
