Adopting: Sound Choices, Strong Families |
Infertility to Family by Rocky A. De Lorenzo "This is the eloquent story of the DeLorenzo's quest for a child - through the emotional and physical heartbreak of infertility (and infertility treatment) to the adoption of their little girl from China. Honest and always humorous, DeLorenzo's storytelling ability never falters in this surprisingly gripping first hand account. I recommend it to anyone struggling with infertility, considering international adoption or interested in the male perception of this roller coaster journey."

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 |
