Adopted, Returned, Unwanted: My Foster Care Journey is the powerful memoir of Judith Levisy, detailing her life in foster care. Born in 1961, during a time when interracial children were often stigmatized, Judith’s journey reveals the challenges, abuses, and resilience woven into her story. At just six months old, her adoptive parents returned her to an orphanage upon realizing her mixed heritage. She spent her youth in foster care, facing hardships and unanswered questions about her biological family, which led her on a decades-long search for the truth.
Omarosa Manigault Newman, former reality TV star and foster care advocate, states, “Judy Levisy’s memoir is a story of triumph and perseverance… Her courage and resilience led her to uncover her roots, offering hope and connection to others who have experienced the foster care system.”
After aging out of foster care, Judith defied the odds, graduating Cum Laude with an associate degree in Theater and serving in the U.S. Army. She has appeared on over 50 TV shows and received recognition for her contributions to veterans and the arts, including awards from the California State Assembly and the U.S. House of Representatives.
Judith reflects: “At 22, seeing my birth certificate for the first time was life-changing. It was the first piece of evidence connecting me to my identity… the rest is history.”
