This is a wonderful book, that is, as the etymology of the word says, full of wonder. It is told from the heart about one family's process that is full of all kinds of twists and turns, yet is also about all of our stories. As an adoptive parent of a wonderful daughter from China myself, I found the book remarkably warm, candid, and poignant. The pictures are great, the writing superb; a wonderful combination of two people who (from the outside look as if they) obviously enjoyed the process of working together.

This is a book for all those who already have or are thinking about adoption from any country. It is not the country of origin that matters in this book, but the wonderful story of the process and the resulting children who bless us and enrich our lives. I never write reviews for books for a number of reasons; this is the first exception to my policy. I could not think of a better reason to make an exception.
