Product Description
As would-be parents cycle through the adoption process, they balance anxiety and fear with the life-altering decision of adoption. The emotional toll of this dance can be completely overwhelming and can confuse parents while navigating the decisions of how to expand their families. Utilizing extensive research and the author's own experience, Labor of the Heart does not gloss over the realties of the adoption process, but rather leads parents through the many stages and emotional impacts the process involves.

A must for adoptive parents! April 21, 2008

What a great book! This is exactly what adoptive parents need. There are no other books that talk about the emotions we deal with--frustrations from the paper chase, anger at the process, despair from waiting. This book showed me how to turn the negatives into a solid foundation for my child to come home to. It's based on solid science, too, not just somebody's idea. Don't adopt without this book!
