Book and Media Review--For the Love of a Child: The Journey of Adoption

This book is available through Deseret book, and offers a wonderful perspective on the feelings surrounding an LDS adoption. It emphasizes the struggle of decision birth parents are subjected to as they choose the best path for their unborn baby. I loved this book! It was the means for me to cement in my heart the tremendous sacrifice a birth mother/father makes in deciding to place the well-being of their child above their own desires.

Here is the publisher's description:
The journey of adoption is never easy, but it is one of love and growth that can be powerfully redemptive. Adoption transforms the pain felt by all involved as they experience the ways God works in the lives of so many people through one tiny child. For those struggling with the decision to adopt, support an adoption, or place a child for adoption, this book is a must read. With examples of real experiences from a professional perspective as well as personal stories from people whose lives have been changed by adoption, it is filled with useful information and, more important, great hope.

I have no affiliation with Deseret Book, I am just pointing you in that direction for your information.
