“Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does.
So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's
when you find out who you are." - Joss Whedon

A New Adoption Book: Open Adoption, Open Heart

Open Adoption, Open Heart: An Adoptive Father's Inspiring Journey by Russell Elkins

This new book releases May 15th.  Has anyone heard about it?  It looks like it might be an interesting read.   (The Kindle version is only $4.99 and available now).  If anyone reads it, be sure to let us know what you think!

Here's a brief summary found on Amazon: The world of adoption has changed dramatically over the past twenty years. No longer do biological parents have to say goodbye to their child forever. They now have more options when deciding the type of adoption to pursue, such as open adoption. Open adoption creates the opportunity for a special relationship between the biological parents, the adoptive parents, and the child. Open Adoption, Open Heart is an inspiring and true story, which takes the reader deeper into the feelings and emotions experienced by adoptive parents. As you read this incredible story, you will experience the joys, difficulties, and amazing victories facing adoptive couples. Russell and his wife, Jammie, invite you to share in their inspiring and heart warming journey.
