[290] a"Lorraine McGee-Sippel was just a small girl when she asked her parents why her skin colour was different from theirs. It was the 1950s and the first step on a journey of unanswered questions that would span decades and lead her to search for her birth family. In the historic climate of the Rudd Government's apology, Yorta Yorta woman, McGee-Sippel, aligns herself with the Stolen Generations as she reveals how she and her family struggled with the far-reaching implications of a government policy that saw her adoptive parents being told their daughter was of Afro-American descent."--Provided by publisher.10aMcGee-Sippel, Lorraine,d1943- 0aChildren, Aboriginal AustralianzNew South WalesxEthnic identityvBiography. 0aChildren, Aboriginal AustralianxCultural assimilationzNew South WalesvBiography. 0aAdopted childrenzNew South WalesvBiography. 0aBirthparentszAustraliaxIdentification. 0aStolen generations (Australia)
