5.0 out of 5 stars Honest adoption facts without the hype., March 1, 1999

This book gives the real story about the proper way to adopt, with respect. Many of the books I have read approached adoption as if it were solely a business transaction. Randall Hicks book discusses the law, but also offers advice in a compassionate tone. I feel this book is an excellent choice for anyone considering adoption.

This is an excellent book that worked for us. We adopted our child within 9 months. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in adoption.

This review is from: Adopting in America: How to Adopt Within One Year/1996-97 (Paperback)

I first saw Randall Hicks 16 years ago at a county-sponsored adoption seminar in Orange, CA. I made an appointment to visit him, came back the next week with a "resume" and a photo album, and within two weeks, my husband and I were "matched" with a birth mother. She gave birth the following month to our beautiful son. Two years later we repeated the process and became the lucky adoptive parents of our wonderful daughter.

I came across Randy's book while searching for a book to give our friends, who were considering adoption. Everything in this book is absolutely right on target. In this book, Randall Hicks lays out all the considerations, all the pros and cons, as well as he did for us in person. I highly recommend it, and I thank heaven for him every day.
