Tom, Maryellen and Taylor AnsbroA Gift For Lila Rose: A China Adoption Love Story

Fred Ford is living proof that modern man has evolved beyond the stoic, neanderthal stereotype, as he brilliantly shows how a man who is both physically and emotionally strong also can experience and express the most sensative, vulnerable, tender feelings, such as the ones that he had, and that his courageous wife and daughter experienced, during the story of their collective lives: the adoption of Lila Rose, an abandoned Chinese baby. With just the right touch of reality and careful editing out of unnecessary melodrama, Fred Ford brings the reader to tears as we experience the pains and struggles that lead to Lila Rose's adoption. Due to Fred Ford's clever wit, what otherwise might be a heavy story is, instead, nicely interspersed with just the right touch of humor, which makes the reader see that we are dealing with a real human soul that is making sense of life's obstacles through story, using a light touch when necessary, as well as inspiration, deep faith about God's timing, and insight. Fred Ford also successfully narrates the story in the present tense so that the reader feels as if they are experiencing the story with the Ford family first-hand. Additionally, Fred Ford demonstrates an unparalleled understanding of life as story, and, as a result, has created an invaluable book and movie about Lila Rose's adoption that will fill Lilsa Rose with a profound understanding and appreciation about how deeply and unconditionally the Fords love her, which is exactly what a child who was abandoned by her natural parents needs. This book is real-life proof of the adage, "Everything happens for a reason", for there are no two people better to parent this beautiful child than the Fords, who patiently waited for her, and who wanted her with all their hearts.

A Gift For Lila Rose: A China Adoption Love Story
Fantasic book. A must read for anyone looking to adopt a baby or for anyone that has. This book is a testament of a parent's love for HIS child - regardless of the "DNA". Remarkable author, remarkable family, remarkable Lila. She is a lucky child and I am certain she knows it.

A well written story that will make you happy, sad, laugh & cry. A true testament of love between a couple, a love of children & a love of God. I truly enjoyed this book.

Thank You Fred!
I bought the book early, and finished it over Thanksgiving weekend. As a waiting China Mom, I found it very inspiring and a true gift for Lila when she is older.
You are a truly special couple, and I laughed and cried my way through the book. You have a true gift Fred, and thanks for sharing it with the rest of the world!
