Mark Tyler (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 23, 2008

The sound of far off sleigh bells drifted into her consciousness, and as Marne tried to remember where she was, she realized that a dark form was hovering above her. Marne struggled to scream as she saw the jagged edge of an unbent hanger as it descended toward her heart. Ken and Marne had been delighted to open their home to a beautiful baby boy in need of a loving family; little did they know that their adopted son had come with a hidden time bomb. Mark Tyler has known the heartbreaking loss of two members of his own family. Life with a child of severe behavior disorders was one of extreme challenges, but nothing could have prepared him for the way his own family story would tragically end. Study lessons of life from this grieving father; learn his most important truth and the family motto forged in pain that continues to give him strength to go on. Mark is hopeful that those who read this book will have a better understanding of hurting children and their families, providing a safe place where their fears are heard and their tears are understood.

Adoption Time Bomb is a quick read packed with valuable insight, comfort and hope for those who have suffered, or know someone who has suffered, with the pain of loss endured from an adopted child with severe behavior disorders.

This review is from: ADOPTION TIME BOMB (Paperback)

Common folks know so little about Reactive Attachment Disorder, and other severe personality and behavioral disorders. This book by Mark Taylor sheds light on the pain and despair felt by parents of a child with these types of disorders. And the encouragement that they are not the only ones with a child like this, gives other parents some hope that there is support out there. Not only do we feel the heartwrenching anguish of his own experience, but he presents the real hope that exists to bring one through such an experience. If you know someone who has a child with these disorders, please share this book with them, to give them hope.

This review is from: ADOPTION TIME BOMB (Paperback)

This book is an easy to read, unfathomable eye-opener. There's so many different lives and experiences in the world that people go through with their family or with themselves that the rest of us have no idea about, or what they are truly going through can happen or even exist. I commend this author for honesty and opening this heartwrenching experience to us all. My heart and prayers go out to every family who has a child with a behavor disorder. May God give you the strength and wisdom to deal with this with Him.
