## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!
*by M***N on January 24, 2012*

I think this book is a must-read for anyone facing the challenges of infertility or in the process of adopting. In fact, if you know someone who is struggling to conceive a biological child or is adopting you should read it too! It is blunt, honest, and very refreshing to be able to understand the thoughts and feelings that these women have as they go through these challenges. It would help everyone to be more sensitive and understanding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The author wrote what many adoptive mothers have thought...
*by B***3 on March 24, 2006*

I know other reviewers have commented about the authors "bitterness, anger, selfishness" etc in her account of adoption. I was reluctant to purchase this book in large part due to those comments. However, once I read a summary on Tapestry (adoption resources) as well as in Adoptive Families Magazine, I decided it was worth the read. I'm so glad I did!I think previous reviewers may have misunderstood the author's intentions in writing the book. The things she has written about don't represent how she felt "all the time" during or after the adoption. She wrote with honesty about the struggles she had facing those feelings and experiences. Frankly, anyone who has adopted and not felt at least one of those feelings must be in denial or being dishonest with themselves.As a women who is adopting after infertility, and one who has spoken to MANY adoptive mothers in the same situation, I found it refreshing to know I was not alone or a bad person for having some of these thought early in the process of adopting. If anything, this book normalized the rollercoaster of emotions I (or anyone else) felt during the process.Yes-I felt a sense of loss over not being able to conceive. Yes- I questioned "why us" during the process. Yes- I was scared of the adoption process and trusting others to determine the outcome of the parenting desires my husband and I shared. That doesn't mean I was ungrateful/selfish/bitter. If anything it made me a better parent for honestly dealing with unresolved issues during the time I was waiting for the adoption to be completed.In my eyes, it's okay to be honest about the "ugly" feelings you may struggle with, and that is what this book has done so honestly, eloquently, and refreshingly. Don't judge others for needing or liking this book. I highly recommend this book.FYI: For any reviewer who didn't like or respect this author's book...I suggest reading her essay titled "The First 13" in the book title A Love Like No Other. Talk about perspective, it offers her reflections on her raising her son (now that he is a teenager). Well worth the read!
