International Adoption: Sensitive Advice for Prospective Parents

Rating:
Summary: An experience I could relate to and learn from !
Review: As someone eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first adopted child, I found this a very valuable book, not because it was packed full of practical hints and useful suggestions, but because it described the kinds of problems, issues and feelings that any adoptive parent has. I think the fact that one of the authors was a single mother like myself made it even more relevant for me. If you are feeling bogged down the facts, forms and processes involved in adopting, this is the book to pick up and address some of those pent up emotions. It is also the encouragement you may need, from someone who knows what it's really like, that YOU CAN DO IT despite seemingly long odds !

Review: It should be noted that this book deals with a single mother's attempt to adopt a child in South America. While it may be helpful to all prospective single mothers, those attempting to adopt institutionalized children from Eastern Europe will have concerns not addressed by this book.

Summary: A nightstand book...
Review: My Mom gave me this as a gift when I began our International Adoption. At first, I only enjoyed the beginning chapters~ then put it aside. 8 months later...I'm in a different stage of our adoption and now truly relate to what the mother in this book goes thru. With ups and downs. It's a nice book to pick up now and again when I need to relate to another adoptive mother. It's an honest book....an actual mothers journey thru adoption with a great ending. This would be a nice gift for those just beginning the adoption journey.

Summary: I loved reading this book.
Review: This book is an excellent read for the person or couple thinking about international adoption. We had already decided to adopt internationally and I found a lot of it I already knew. The stories were very heartwarming and I could really relate. If you are "thinking" about adopting internationally, this is a book you will want to read first. It will make your decision easier and you will be very happy you did!
