5 out of 5 stars Reality folks!   May 12, 2008
This book as all books should be read and used as you feel it fits into your family. I loved it all and couldn't put it down. The author is realistic. Don't let this book convince you not to adopt and toddler. Use this wonderful book to consider carefully, learn about possibilities, and enter your adoption process fully aware. I think this book should be required reading before even thinking of adopting a toddler. The author is thoughtful and presents her points without emotional fluff. A great read.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book!   May 1, 2008
We are currently adopting a child out of the foster care system. I found this book to be very helpful. It has prepared me well to become a mom through adoption. I would recommend this book to anyone connected to a toddler adoption.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful   March 27, 2008
This is a wonderful, intelligently written, informative book for anybody considering toddler adoption. The first hand experience of toddler adoption by the author links the concept to reality. I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it to all perspective adoptive parents.


4 out of 5 stars Fantastic preparation for adoptive parents   October 16, 2007

Anyone thinking of a foreign adoption should read this book before beginning the adoption process! I feel better prepared for the toddler we plan to adopt, and I have a friend who decided to adopt only an infant after reading this book, because she felt she couldn't handle the difficulties that would come with a toddler - attachment problems, grief issues, etc. Adoption is much more difficult than I could have ever imagined, financially, emotionally, timewise, but I feel confident I can do it and feel like I've been given the information I need to be prepared for the difficulties I may experience - and hopefully I now will be pleasantly surprised instead of rudely awakened!

I found this to be a great book. It really opened my eyes to what a toddler adoption could be like. I highly recommend it.
