Customer Reviews

Great for pre-adoptive parents too!

While waiting to be chosen by our son's birthparents, our social worker recommended this book. It is a deeply moving look into the birthparent's hearts as they make the difficult decision whether to choose parenting their baby or making an adoption plan. It's an excellent book for pre-adoptive parents looking to understand and respect the birthparent's point-of-views.

Required reading for anyone facing this choice

The best thing about Lindsay's book is that she allows the pregnant woman to consider single parenting. It is so important for women considering adoption to explore ALL the alternatives, not just adoption. This book offers a well-rounded look at the options, without bias or hidden agenda. I wish I'd read it during my crisis pregnancy.
