Charming in every way, Wonderful You: An Adoption Story
captures both the birth mother's search for the "perfect family" and
the anticipation and joy of the adoptive parents when their hopes for a child
are fulfilled.
The poetic voice is never forced nor does it stray from the
heart of this thoughtfully imagined story.
The verse carries the reader through the birth mother's determination to
give her child a loving family, celebrates that special moment when a couple
becomes parents, and imagines their future as a family with
all those "firsts" -- crawling, walking, birthdays, school, snowmen, before ending with a special promise to their "Wonderful You."
Inspired by author Lauren McLaughlin's experience as an adoptive
mother, the story is filled with honest warmth and subtle insight. An ideal
gift.
