The Gift of Sam

This book communicates the heart of a birth mom. If you are considering adoption or are nervous about open adoption you must read this book!

Wonderful Book

We read this book for our adoption education and it was really wonderful to read the story from a birthmother's side of things. Very heartfelt.

Wonderful!

As a recent adoptive parent through domestic adoption, it was very helpful to grasp (or at least attempt to) what our birthmom may or may not have gone through. What I like most about this book is the author's willingness to bring God into EVERY inch of her journey, and she wasn't afraid to express her struggles - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I wish more of us were as real as she was in this book. I couldn't put this book down. Oh, and have the tissue box close by.

Buy this book!!

This is a fantastic book - a powerful resource written specifically with birth parents in mind. A great perspective for adoptive parents and professionals in this field. Through her own story, the author gracefully addresses the difficult struggle of her unplanned pregnancy and shares her journey through the decision to place her child in an adoptive home.
