An Empty Lap : One Couple's Journey to Parenthood By Jill Smolowe "I really liked 'An Empty Lap' by Jill Smolowe. It not only talks about the author's Chinese adoption, but also about her battle with infertility and all of the emotions that goes along with it. I didn't start reading until after we had decided to adopt, but I wish I would have read it while we were going through infertility ourselves. As I was reading it, I kept saying, 'That's exactly how I felt!' Happy reading." (Cindi) Order Book from Amazon |
