Summary: All You Need is Love
Comment: I'm not a big reader - can barely keep up with the newspaper and my work stuff. One reason I liked this book is that people like me can make time for it. It's short, to the point, and got me crying at least twice during the first three chapters. Like the author I'm a single gay guy still figuring out gay men, hoping for that monogamous never-ending relationship. This book showed that although being a father would probably be easier if part of a couple, the biggest qualification is a strong desire to be a father. Clearly not all men (gay or straight) are cut out for it, but Kevin proves that one's sexual orientation does not bear on his ability to be a dad. If I adopt I will pick up this book, probably cry again as I extract just the how-to parts, unable to avoid parts that choked me up. It's a great primer - one that doesn't overwhelm you with too much detail yet has all the necessities. Think of the barriers Kevin had - (1) gay, (2) single, (3) male, (4) adopting in a faraway developing country (5) doing it a second time. This man clearly has guts and, you'll see from all his preparation, was made to be a father - a role model. Through his story and guide, he makes easy what till now I would not have thought possible. Although the book's target is gay men, it's an inspiration for anyone contemplating parenthood.

Summary: A WONDERFUL book: touching, heartwarming and yes, practical.
Comment: A beautiful book about the author's journey towards parenthood. He opens his heart up to the reader; all of his hopes, dreams, fears, and longings. And that encourages the reader towards his own introspection. But yet the book has lots of very practical and useful advice on the process of international adoptions: from paperwork to tax credits to legal requirements (both domestic and overseas). I think the book is a huge help and support for gay men considering parenthood, but it would also have appeal to any potential adoptive parents considering an international adoption.
