White Male Infant

Rating:
Summary: Will absolutely cause anxiety to any adoptive parent.
Review: Caution:
This Book should not be read by anyone either considering adoption or anyone who has recently completed an adoption! While the story is intriguing and at times gripping, it involves an international baby selling organization that commits the most heinous of all crimes in order to "match" very high paying prospective adoptive couples with their "perfect" baby. As the story unfolds, the reader is sickened and horrified by the callousness of this highly successful "adoption agency" juxtaposed with the vivid descriptions of depraved conditions forced upon orphaned babies in Russia.

Overall, "White Male Infant" is a good mystery story which does alert readers to the very real and desperate plight of waiting babies and children all over the world. However, it also enacts every parents' (both adoptive and biological) worst nightmare and will absolutely cause anxiety to any adoptive parent. Read it with caution!

Review: I really enjoyed it. It's a interesting, different-than-the ususal story line.

Summary: Great Premise, Downhill From There....
Review: I thought the premise of this book was terrific. What adoptive parent was doesn't worry and wonder about their child's background? But the book went downhill after a great start.

Several other reviewers have mentioned the "cartoonish" characters and I have to agree.

Too much of a downer for me, after a great beginning.
