 | if adoption touches your life in any way, buy this book Mar 2, 2007 |
| At last, an intelligent, well-written book that candidly and unsentimentally explores the challenges of raising an adopted child. The different authors in this collection have kids who range in age from toddlers to teens, and the subjects they explore are fascinating, honest and heartfelt. If you are an adoptive parent, an adult adoptee or a relative/friend touched by a loved one's adoption, you will find something thought-provoking in this anthology. | | | | Outstanding - insightful, balanced, and powerful May 19, 2006 |
| This book consists of a series of essays by adoptive parents, each of which expresses some distilled, highly personal, and pretty intense kernels of truth about their own individual adoptive parenting experiences. The authors are all professional writers, and this really comes across in the power of their words. The essays reflect both joyful and painful experiences and as a result richly characterizes the complexities of being an adoptive parent. I was completely hooked--couldn't put it down. | | |  | Professional authors write of their personal experiences... Mar 25, 2006 |
This was a very moving collection of adoptive stories from professional writers. I emphasize the "professional" part only because the result is a much better book (editing, flow, content) then other compilations I've read written by non-writers. (Those, unfortunately, caused me to sometimes focus on lack of editing, poor grammer, etc rather than the content).
The experiences written about include domestic (open & closed), foster care, and international adoption. I enjoyed the variety of stories included in this compilation. I also appreciated the inclusion of stories addressing various stages and experiences that are common to most adoptive parents, regardless of the origin of your child. | | | | Compelling adoption stories Mar 24, 2006 |
| This collection of essays covers all aspects of adopting. The stories are very moving, honest and compelling. It covers both international and domestic adoption. It addresses some of the most difficult challenges that adoptive families must face. It is the best adoption book that I have read in YEARS!! | | | | I couldn't put it down Mar 24, 2006 |
| Of the (too) many adoption related books I've read over the past years, this was one book that I could not put down until I had finished it. What I loved about it was its inclusiveness, and its "real-ness." Every type of family situation is covered here (singles, married, divorced after adoption, domestic adoption, international adoption, transracial adoption, same-race adoption, special needs adoption, supportive extended families, non-supportive ones, post-adoption depression, birth family searches). And the parents of these children tell their stories, warts and all. Their joys, their sorrows, their bafflement over behaviors they haven't anticipated and cannot understand, and their acceptance of their children, as they are and for who they are. Several of the essays resonated personally with me. I could have written them from my own experience. I highly recommend this book, particularly for pre-adoptive parents seeking to learn all they can about the post-adoptive experience, from every angle. | | | Write your own review about A Love Like No Other
