Lily is being adopted Follow her on an emotional journey from
foster care to her new home. "You are getting a new family." Mrs.
Wellington's voice didn't sound very happy. Lily's heart began to
race. She touched her small hand to her face, to her cheek, and
began to pinch at it. She flinched when she felt the burn. It meant
she wasn't dreaming. Of course she wasn't dreaming. Her dreams were
never this good. "What are they like?" Lily asked. She had tried to
imagine what her mommy and daddy would be like. And what they would
look like.
Who among your circle of friends or family has not been caught up
in one or more of these dilemmas: family problems, a difficult
choice between an abortion or adoption, an unjust legal system or
loss of career, drugs or alcohol dependency, a religious identity
crisis or thoughts of suicide? Perhaps someone you know is a
Holocaust victim or their descendant, or been touched by
assimilation problems. It is all here, in a compelling saga, based
on the lives of two Jewish families that converge over an adopted
child. A sealed adoption agreement is breached, and the
birth-mother and adoptive-mother are forced to confront each
other's complicated histories. Spanning seventy years and two
continents, the tragedies and triumphs of both families are woven
together, ultimately leading to redemption. In recent years there
have been a number of books written by a birth-mother forced to
give up her child or by the adopted child reuniting with her
biological parents. This book is unique. The Blessing and the Curse
is written from my point of view, as the adoptive-mother, with the
cooperation of the birth-mother and her family. It cracks open the
facade of family life, digging deeper into who we are and why.
Nothing happens in a vacuum. This saga poignantly reveals the ups
and downs, the real life dramas, that funnel our choices and
defines who we are.
"Child of Sorrow" is based on a true story of one 17-year-old
girl's struggle to survive an unplanned pregnancy in a time when
abortion was not a legal option. Like many in 1959, she was
secreted away to a home for unwed mothers and forced to surrender
her baby for adoption. Most who endured such a heart-rending
experience were scarred by it for life, and their future
relationships suffered as a result. This book is dedicated to all
of them.
What happens when all that is familiar disappears...when everything
you see, taste, smell, feel, hear....is suddenly gone and lost to
the other side of the world? Enter the world of An-Ya and Her
Diary... An-Ya and Her Diary chronicles the journey of an 11 year
old adoptee from China. Written in diary format, young An-Ya
reveals her emotional journey as she is catapulted from a Chinese
orphanage into a middle class home in America. The diary, into
which she journals, was the only item left with An-Ya when she was
found as an infant. For 11 years An-Ya has left the diary blank as
she patiently waited in China for her biological family to return.
Ultimately, after her adoption to America, she feels compelled to
write her story down. Inside her diary she strives to connect the
two severed worlds in which she has lived. An-Ya's story is one of
incredible loss, filled with painful transitions and longed for
hope. It is a story that will linger with you after its final page
is turned. AN-YA AND HER DIARY: READER AND PARENT GUIDE...NOW

Many families want to adopt, but do not have the large amount of
money it takes to complete a private domestic or international
adoption. Some quickly give up the idea of adopting and are left
feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and discouraged. Those who choose
to proceed often take out large loans or borrow from family and
friends which adds to the financial pressure on the family. Author
Julie Gumm shares proven strategies from her own experience as well
as from others that include applying for grants, creative
budgeting, and fundraising that prospective adoptive parents can
use to prepare for and avoid those high costs associated with
adoption.
