Summary: A wonderful adoption story
Review: I bought the book and had to read it all in one night. Not only is it filled with humor, wit and charm, but surprise twists which make it "not your average gay couple adoption book." Mr. Savage is truly a gifted writer and I felt everyone of his and his boyfriends' hopes, fears, disappointments, etc. Gay, straight, fertile, infertile, adopted, hatched or left by aliens, you should read this book. Be prepared to cry and then to laugh out loud. This book really does an excellent job on your emotions.

Summary: Fabuluos Book, also a life changing book
Review: I brought this book home and had my sister, that was still uneasy about me being gay, read the book. She enjoyed the book and totally changed her view about homosexuality. She now can see how homosexuals are reagular people and she wants me to learn more from Dan Savage. Oh by the way, she is 15 and this is the second English book she ever read. Anyway, buy this book for your family, your friends. It could make them understand what being gay is all about.

Summary: Brilliant story; but not an exploration of adoption options
Review: I started to read at 10:30pm and couldn't put it down until I finished the next morning. This included 3 crying-breaks and numrous occasions of laughing out loud. A very entertaining read.For those interested in detailed mechanics of various adoption options, however, this is not a "how-to" book. For example, only passing mention of the "international route" is made and the only two options really discussed and compared are domestic open vs. closed adoptions. The case for the open route is soundly made.

Summary: I pity the child
Review: Its not because he's gay, cause I am as gay as he is, but this guy is a crass, insensitive and rude and I pity the child who has to live under that influence. I can only hope that his lover is a real person, but I kind of doubt it.

Summary: Totally enjoyable
Review: Even though I don't always agree with Mr. Savage's politics, I bought this book to learn more about gay adoptions. I ended up reading this book in one sitting, and have gone back to it several times since to reread certain parts. The book is informative, thought provoking, interesting, touching, but most important, highly entertaining.

Summary: BRILLIANT
Review: As an adoptive parent, I can say with absolute certainty that this is the very best, most intelligent, realistic, touching, enjoyable, and hilarious book on adoption I have ever read. Anyone who has adopted, is adopted, or is planning to adopt, whether gay, straight, or in between, should read this book. As a matter of fact, anyone with a brain and a heart should read it. Hurry up and write another book, Mr. Savage.

Summary: Touching and extremely funny
Review: I really think this book is so remarkable. I am twenty-five years old and decided to read this book after reading the "A" review in Entertainment Weekly. I was totally impressed with the material, insights, writing style and finished it up in two short extended read days. I really hope Dan writes more on this monumental journey...I wish him, Terry, D.J., Melissa all the best.

Summary: My Public Library Now Owns This Book
Review: I asked my public library to buy this book because it should be read by all parents-to-be. Whether or not you would want your child to be raised by a gay couple is beyond the point of this book...this is about what it takes to be a parent, the trials and tribulations that each person goes through if they are pregnant or adopting. Great book and a good buy.

Summary: ~~~AWESOME~~~
Review: A great book....if you have read Savage before, you will recognize his crazy humor. If you are new to Dan, you are in for a treat. I would also reccommend "Savage Love" for hilarious, "pick me up and read me for two minutes OR two hours" reading!
