1.0 out of 5 stars So not what I needed to hear!!!, Oct 27 2004
This review is from: Adopting After Infertility (Paperback)
I read this book shortly after dh and I decided to look into adoption. The author goes on and on about getting through your grief over infertility and it made me even more depressed about my situation!! She goes through different stages that a couple has to grieve before they are ready to move on and adopt such as the grief of never sharing a pregnancy with your spouse, the grief of never having a biological child etc. etc. etc. To me, adoption is not about grieving over what I am going to miss out on, it is about embracing life's path and looking at what I do get to experience such as the joy of finding out there is a child for us, and the excitment of sharing the adoption experience with my dh. IF sucks, I will be the first one to admit that!!! But life is what you make of it and I don't think that I need to grieve all these different steps before I am ready to embrace adoption.

1.0 out of 5 stars Psychobabble from a woman who knows nothing, Dec 26 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Adopting After Infertility (Paperback)
This book was non sensical to me. If anything it tried to disuade my husband and I from persuing IVF etc. It is bombarded with PC crap and one cannot say " give a baby up for adoption" or "real mom" she completely sounds pompous and doesn't seem like any advice she would give you would have an ounce of care for the feelings of one going through IF. I think this book was a sham and i regret purchasing something written by someone so high on their credentials but lacking in real life desperation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lasting Impact, Jan 18 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Adopting After Infertility (Paperback)
Sixteen months after our dream of having a family was realized through adoption, this is the one book that I continue to remember, refer to and recommend. The book is sensitive without being emotionally silly; straight-forward and factual without being dry and hopeless. The author does an excellent job of helping couples work through options and issues without being judgemental or overly biased toward adoption as the ultimate answer. My husband and I read this as we started exploring adoption, and we used the suggested process to help sort out our feelings and motivations about adoption. As a result, I believe we were more fully prepared to approach the adoption option in a healthy, positive way.
