Summary: Psychobabble from a woman who knows nothing
Comment: 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.

Summary: Lasting Impact
Comment: 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.
Rating: 5
Summary: Exceptionally helpful
Comment: I found this book extremely helpful in sorting out the wild emotions I was experiencing when trying to decide whether or not to continue with infertility treatments or to move to actively pursuing adoption. It was a difficult book to read - I would read a chapter and have to stop to "digest" it and cry for a while. But it ultimately increased my confidence that my husband and I were making the right choices for ourselves.
I have passed my copy on to a close friend now facing these same questions and have recommended it to several other couples.
