This journal is not at all what I expected. There are pages with questions at the top of each. You fill in the answers to each question. It is more of a "getting to know your adoptive parents" guide for your adopted child. I could have easily wrote a summary of my childhood in a much cheaper journal and gotten the same results.

I was looking at adoption journals as a gift and I too preferred the Waiting for You. Waiting for You has is something you can see truly being an heirloom - nice thick pages and gender neutral. This is a perfectly fine book, but it's worth the extra money for Waiting for You. Go for it.

This journal provides opportunities for reflection with the flexibity to suit your own adopting scenerio. The cover photo is what kept me from using this book for my own use since I wanted a book that could celebrate my transracial adoption. I ended up being very happy with Waiting for You: An Heirloom Adoption Journal for My Future Child. I got it as a gift from my adoption agency. It has places for photos and writing and has a smooth finish that I just love. Journaling really helped me feel more patient towards a process that made me feel very powerless! Good Luck and God Bless!
