Very inspirational book,
By Proud Dad (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Our Blessings From China (Paperback)
This book includes the adoption stories of various families. I find it very inspirational. People should read this book if they are considering international adoption from China or if they want to read about other people's adoption experience.

A Blessing Indeed,
By Christina Navarro, Ed.D. (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Our Blessings From China (Paperback)
Our Blessings from China is an anthology of nine authors from across the United States all of whom have adopted children from China in a ten-year period. Each story is a personal account of adoptive parents' journey to form a family via international and cross-cultural adoption. Some families chose adoption because of personal choice and others because of infertility. Regardless, all families must overcome personal obstacles to find their forever family.
Our Blessings from China is self-published; the second by Danny Fuller and Peaceful Sunrise Publications. Fuller has done a nice job in compiling stories from writers of various religious backgrounds, family structures, and points of view. Each story is accompanied with a black and white photo, which helps the reader personally connect with the authors and their histories. The collection does not sugar coat the adoption experience. Most authors recount issues of fear, loss, attachment, trauma, and the process of recovery in an honest and perhaps comforting story format. However, each account also illustrates growth of the families beyond what might have been imagined pre-adoption. Fuller's anthology is a welcome addition to the burgeoning genre of adoption literature. This easy to read paperback is for anyone touched by adoption, curious about adoption from China in particular, or for those considering an international adoption. Support groups may also find this text useful for group discussions on issues of attachment, bonding, family support, and education.

Helpful to future adoptive parents,
By
This review is from: Our Blessings From China (Paperback)
As a co-author of this book, it was my goal to share my experience in detail of our trip to China to adopt our two little girls. Our experiences were completely different each time and I hope that anyone looking to adopt finds this book helpful and those who have adopted find this book a reflection of their own experiences.
