This book is a great starting place for someone interested in adoption. It helps the reader evaluate their feelings about parenting a child that isn't biologically connected to them. It connects the reader to their feelings about adoption as well as valuable sources of information concerning the adoption process.

If you're considering adopting a child, this book is a great starting point on an emotional and intellectual level.

What a great book! This is exactly what adoptive parents need. There are no other books that talk about the emotions we deal with--frustrations from the paper chase, anger at the process, despair from waiting. This book showed me how to turn the negatives into a solid foundation for my child to come home to. It's based on solid science, too, not just somebody's idea. Don't adopt without this book!
