Summary: A Beautiful, Spiritually Inspiring Guide for Future Parents
Review: As a married women of 29, who wants the best for my future children, I bought this book wanting to know how to facilitate a relationship with my child's soul. This book answered many questions, and explained how to use spiritual energy and "The Violet Fire" for the good of the child's soul and physical wellbeing. This book has prayers to help you all along the way- from before conception to after birth. The initial chapters dealt with karma, reincarnation, and the mission of your child's soul. I also ejoyed the chapter about how to convey beauty and virtue through music and art. This book also explains the importance of loving communication with your unborn child, and meditation. I highly recomend this book to anyone wanting to know more about the souls who will become their children- and how to do what is spiritually, emotionaly, physically, and mentally loving of them before they are born.

Summary: Disappointed by adoption references
Review: I bought this book when I first became pregnant. Unfortunately, I skimmed it far too quickly. I did not realize how prejudiced the authors were toward adoption. Because this book had emphasized in its marketing the idea that an unborn child's spiritual life can be molded while in the womb, I thought that the authors would understand how vital the mother/child bond is and how both mother and child suffer when it is broken. How surprised I was to read the chapter "Chance Plays No Part in Adoption." A study is quoted stating that some adopted "children said that they had now known their biological mother or father in a past life. But they did have karmic ties" with their adopters. I thought of this quote and of the desperate longing that I had as a child to find my own natural mother. We were separated by adoption for over thirty years. After I found her, she said that she'd told me before we left the maternity home that we'd find each other one day. Perhaps it was her telling me we'd find each other that made me so doggedly pursue finding her. Whatever the reason, I can't believe that the same God that would create a child in its mother's womb would condone its separation from that mother. Adoption is a social convenience for infertile couples. To say the biological parents must give away their children to fulfill some karmic law denies the bonds between mother and child that the authors tout in the rest of the book. It's curious to me how the authors can reconcile the wonder of nature's conception with the unnatural and abusive act of adoption. Many mothers, children, and fathers have suffered because of adoption. I would hope that this book would encourage keeping mothers and children together and upholding the sacredness of motherhood instead of suggesting that some mothers are merely vehicles to give other women the illusion of having their own children. Shame on the authors for not consulting people negatively affected by adoption before presenting their views.

Summary: An excellent book for expectant parents
Review: There are many good books on prenatal care and even education in the womb. What we liked about this book was that it focuses on the spiritual aspects of preparing your new baby for the world he or she will enter. The meditations and visualizations will help you to create a deep, spiritual bond between you and your baby.
