[Jenna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another great book for a real-life picture of adoption, but not great literature.

[Jennifer Rosqvist · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a beautiful and honest adoption story, straight from the mother's heart.

[Viosola · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the better adoption memoir. The author's love for the little child really shone through. Also, it was eye-opening to read about her experience with paper work, etc.
