Book Description

August 2004 100 Reasons
Best-selling author Gregory E. Lang captures the essence of the dynamic relationships among adoptive families. These are families with so much love to share whom are desperate to have and/or help children. From hugs and kisses, to witnessing "firsts" together, Why I Chose You depicts all of the reasons why each child is uniquely special to his or her adoptive parent(s).

Raising a child is not a right, but a gift. It matters not from where the gift comes, but simply that it is received. Gone are the days in which adoption was taboo. It is reason for rejoicing, sharing, and celebrating. No guilt and no second guesses can creep into your heart once it is so completely filled to bursting with love.

It is that love that is celebrated within the pages of Why I Chose You. Gregory E. Lang has compiled dozens of reasons for adoption as well as capturing the adoration, affection, and mutual gratification that is received from both the parent and child. For there is no greater place than a home filled with love, and no greater gift than the smile of a happy and contented child who knows he or she is loved.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for older kids being adopted, February 7, 2005
This review is from: Why I Chose You (100 Reasons) (Hardcover)
My twin foster children have been with us for almost two years. When I was Christmas shopping my foster son(we plan to adopt both)he spotted this book. He read two or three pages and insisted that we had to have this book. I of course was trying to keep from crying in the store after 3 pages. My son came home with his prize and proceeded to read the whole book outloud to the family. Both he and his sister got more excited as he read. He had other things to add to what was in the book too. I basically was a blubberly mess. Not just a sentimental book though, there are a lot of very deep things in the book.

===A very happy soon to be permanant Dad of two 9 year olds.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Parents of Adopted Children, September 6, 2005
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Why I Chose You (100 Reasons) (Hardcover)
I initially found this book at a local department store when shopping with my mother-in-law, her 2 sons are adopted. As she started skimming through this book in the store she started crying! I knew right away that this would be a perfect gift for her, but the price seemed too high at the store. I checked out Amazon.com when I got home and found it for $10 less!! If you have adopted children, this is a MUST!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It Touched My Heart, November 15, 2006
This review is from: Why I Chose You (100 Reasons) (Hardcover)
My husband and I are currently in the process of adopting our first child. When I came across this book in the store it stopped me dead in my tracks. Faster than you could blink an eye I was standing in the middle of the aisle reading each page and crying my eyes out. The photos and words in this book truly touched my heart, and I know that it will fast become a family favorite.
