Review

Rejoice in the Sun (sung by Joan Baez) inspiringly introduces this exploration of adopting children. Candid conversation between couples who share their experiences are interwoven with commentary from a host and from adoption investigators and supervisors. This well-captioned program considers many factors in an adoption decision (motivations, finances, legalities, etc.), the methods (public, private, and independent agencies), and the types of children (infants, older, special needs, foreign born). Extremely thorough in its coverage and its recommended resources. This informative production offers support to those caught up in this complex process. -- The Publisher

Product Description

In The Sun is a practical videotape guide to adoption. It was designed to provide all of the information, guidance, and data families need as they face the adoption process. Of greatest importance is the tone and style of In The Sun. It is reassuring, positive, and understanding of the fears and concerns wouldbe adoptive parents have. If you are considering adoption you probably have no idea where to begin or what to expect. In fact, your greatest fear is the unknown. Those who have reviewed this valuable tape have given it high marks. They include; adoption attorneys, counselors, adoptive parents, adoption agency personnel, department of social services counselors, couples considering adoption, and a producer for Disney and Paramount. Comments, such as, "I watched the entire two hours in one sitting even though I didn't plan to," were common. In fact, Joan Baez donated the rights to her voice in the title song Rejoice, In The Sun. The entire project was a labor of love. It was created to help others make it through the cloudy process of adoption to enjoy the most fulfilling, life-enriching experience of all - that of being a parent. One mom-to-be stated that she rewatched each section as they progressed through each step of the process and gained confidence and hope from the presenters.
