The 8 Ball Cafe: Stories of Adoption, Addiction and Redemption

By Lori Carangelo

Adoptees have higher odds for lifetime substance abuse, drug associated crimes, and suicides than non-adopted persons.
This book provides a rare, intimate look at HOW and WHY this occurs.

Drug addicted adoptees, Noah Stone (in Part 1), Tom McGee (in Part 2), and 31 other adoptees (in Part 3) reveal, in their own words, the common threads that affected their outcomes.

Part 4 was added in 2024 when the author's own son, Tom Schafrick, died of acute Fentanyl and Cocaine Intoxication, ruled "Accidental."
