Love finds a way. After eight years of marriage and six years of infertility treatments, Carmelo and Patricia Tartivita sign on to adopt a child internationally. The mystery and romance of the Orient entices them to choose China. A child from China sounds romantic. The romance of adopting a child is replaced with the reality of paperwork. Adoption is forms, bureaucracies and waiting. Two years later, the day of departure arrives. They’re off to China emotionally unprepared, intellectually incapacitated and woefully short of baby supplies. They’re dizzy with excitement to meet their child.The baby adventure begins. Seen through the eyes of a new father, The Nanchang Diary is an unexpected adventure in the raw beauty of China and in the joys and fears of parenthood. Like all new parents, Carmelo and Patricia have to come to terms with a wonderful, new reality — life with a child.

Outstanding True Story! Impossible to put down! Must Have!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Nanchang Diary: The Adoption of Victoria Santina Huang He Ping Tartivita (Paperback)
This book is fantastic, and a must have for anyone who has ever been involved with the adoption of a child (or) a fan of Non-Fiction.Tartivita (the author) is masterful with his clever combination of facts and emotions. His frequent injections of classy humor make the book impossible to put down. After reading this book, I wrote the author directly, and asked him if he would sign my copy. I couldn't believe it. He responded quickly, and was exceptionally cordial. A true class act! Although I never give books as a gift to any friends or family, this masterpiece changed my philosophy on book-giving. I'm giving this book to many friends and family, and highly recommend!!!!! Carmello Tartivita you are a genius!!!! I'll stand in line for his next book, and hope it's out soon!!

Nanchung Diaries a Hit!!!,
By
This review is from: The Nanchang Diary: The Adoption of Victoria Santina Huang He Ping Tartivita (Paperback)
I have read many accounts of international adoption, and this is by far the best! Carmen accurately recounts his steps in China, with his wife, Trish, during their journey to adopt little Victoria. This is a funny, accurate, heart-rending tale in which the heroes (the Tartavita family) actually WIN!! I would recommend this story to any one, especially one from a family considering an adoption from China!
