This book is a non-fiction story of Jennifer Grant and her life and the adoption of her 2 year old daughter, Mia. The story tells of what lead Jennifer to adoption and the process. She tells of her struggles with the adoptions process because there is a lot of paperwork and waiting. Her struggle with learning patience because she was very excited and then having so much paperwork and people and different legal departments and there was so much that had to be done before they could have their baby come home. She told of her struggle of the ups and downs of waiting and helping her birth children get ready for a baby sister that would be different than them. She also gave tips for other families who are thinking about adoption and who should or shouldn’t adopt.
I have really started thinking about adopting and foster care. I love children and would love to have my own but at the same time I don’t need them to be my own. I believe that I could share my love with the children of this world that don’t have parents or a family and this book helped me realize I really would love to learn more about this and see if this can become a reality for me. Jennifer Grant wrote a beautiful story about her love for Mia and told her struggles so honestly and gave us an inside view on the realities of adoption, the big one being the wait for your child. I loved the book. I enjoyed reading it. It was suspense or a book that you couldn’t put down, which was hard for me because I am not used to that so it took me much longer to read, especially with the holidays but I was happy when I finished it and saw all the resources for more books on adoption. I highly recommend this book for nonfiction, life stories, and mommy book people!
