Parents at Last : Celebrating Adoption and the New Pathways to Parenthood With their fingers on the pulse of American life, the authors of "Parents At Last" have captured the essence of the most important challenge facing us today - creating and nurturing families. While the media focuses on the breakdown of the family, this book focuses instead on creating family in its many forms - adoptive families, blended families, families who experience the wonders of cutting edge technological fertility. Through it all the underlying truths of family shine through: humor, communication, and most of all, love.

Till There Was You - An Adoption Expectancy Journal It is often without a due date. It is a pregnancy of the heart and soul, not of the womb, which makes it unique and special and not something that should be overlooked nor undermined. It is my hope that this book will inspire you to create your own journal of exploration throughout your "pregnancy" to share one day with the child that grew in your heart.
