Reviews

[Catherine Grant · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm fairly sure that this book is now out of print, but I borrowed a copy from my MIL when I mentioned to her that I wanted to adopt. It gives all the details of the Williams adoption of six children from China and Korea. I appreciated that it held nothing back and gave very honest information about what it is like to adopt both domestically and internationally. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about adoption.
