She includes the challenges and blessings surrounding her pregnancy. The heartache of 'not knowing' what happened to her baby and the beautiful story that unfolds as she meets her birth daughter are inspirational. When going through difficult times, Sharon sometimes wondered how God could allow such troubling things to happen. Her story demonstrates how He had a plan for her-one filled with hope. He also allowed her free will to make her own choices. If you're facing or have faced an unplanned pregnancy, you will benefit from reading I Choose this Mournings and Miracles of Adoption .
I had such high hopes for this book, and it definitely fell short of the mark for me. Sharon Fieker's testimony is great, but I think it's a story that works much better as a verbal presentation. The writing was simplistic, and unfortunately there were a number of times during the book where I thought it sounded self-congratulatory. I don't for a moment believe that the author intended that to be the case, and it's unfortunate that this written version of her story has the weaknesses that it does, as they detract from what otherwise is a very positive and touching story of adoption.
