Book Description

December 2000
 This is a heartwarming diary of a couple who adopted eleven children, as fast paced as a home video, filled with dedication, sacrifice and devotion. There were difficult times but miracles as well and they were able to see all their children become successful adults. Today, as then, there are many children who need loving homes. Adopting a child or children often brings as much joy and happiness to those adopting as it does to those who are adopted.

This review is from: Loved at First Sight: A Mother's True Story of Eleven Adopted Children (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful story, that in my opinion, isn't meant as a "guide" to parenting or adoption, however it is a look into how rewarding adoption can be. For those unable to have biological children, this book proves that the happiness and joy of having a family can be acheived. My hats off to this fine couple who provided a loving and happy home to their children and perhaps given hope to many.
