Labours of Love: Canadians Talk about Adoption

By Deborah A. Brennan

Adoption is not for the faint of heart. Labours of Love chronicles the journeys of Canadians who have overcome heartbreaking obstacles to become parents. Their stories are as diverse as our country, and span the borders of our world. While each account is unique in its own way, the stories are connected by the overwhelmingly commonality of the power of human connection.

labours of love

This is a book obviously written with a compassionate hand. The stories are heartfelt and bittersweet. As an adoptive parent, I was grateful that so many people were willing to share very personal events in their lives and that it focuses on Canadian situations. I haven't seen another book like it. I did wish the paper quality was better in order to bring more life to very candid and touching photography. There was so much emotion on the participants faces. This is a must read for anyone who has adoption in their life- adoptive parents, adoptees, and extended families. I couldn't read it all at once because it is so moving, but I've reread the stories several times. What a gift this author has given.
