Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul: Stories Celebrating Forever Families by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and LeAnn Thieman "The usual heartwarming short vignettes that this series does so well. Most of the stories are related to the adoption journey or tales of how children joined their adoptive "forever" families; a smaller selection relates to post adoption situations, such as birth parent or homeland search. The vignettes are all well polished, easy to read and heart warming; occasionally they make your catch your breath in surprise or empathy. Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul is an excellent present for adoptive families or those considering adoption, who might enjoy a bit of encouragement, and a feeling of belonging to a wider, far reaching community."
