While struggling with infertlity and
depression, this book changed my outlook
and the direction of my life. It gave me
new hope. Each chapter mirrored exactly
what I was experiencing from infertility
and put everythin into perspective. You
will find information about all the
losses you are experiencing, how to
decide on posible solutions with your
partner and all the aspects that involve
choosing adoption. Even though my husband
and I had talked about the possibility of
adopting, we discovered we were not ready
yet and that we had to deal with several
issues first and make our relationship
strong again before making this important
decision. My sister who is also infertile
read the book and now she is about to
adopt a baby who will be born in July.
This book has been extremely helpful for
the whole family. We live in Costa Rica
and there is ZERO literature or support
groups here. Thank God for the internet
and all the useful resources it provides.
Even if you are barely considering the
option of adoption or even if you are
just starting to deal with infertility,
you should read this book (and later give
it to your partner, your family and your
friends).

A must read for infertile
couples considering adoption,

Reviewer:

This is by far the best book that I
have read concerning adoption. It neither
glamorizes or dramaticizes the process,
but offers an examination of very thought
provoking issues about the adoption
process and about adoption throughout the
lifespan. One of the most thought
provoking aspects of the book is the part
that deals not with adoption but with the
task of resolving the losses surrounding
infertility. The book takes some very
bold steps in speaking the truth of
couples touched by this devastating
problem and in helping them to move
through the losses to the point of
becoming able to embrace adoption as the
best option. I will always cherish this
book and the way that it helped my
husband and me to navigate through a
lifechanging experience.
