I read this page...
"Did you ever think," wondered Barley, "that your wish might not come true?"and cried.
"Oh yes..." said Mama, remembering how long the waiting seemed sometimes. "I wished for you through many phone calls...and through mountains of paperwork. I wished for you while I waited and waited...and waited."
I love this book. The story includes sections on first moms and transracial families. While there are parts that I don't agree with like insinuating through the use of faith based language that the adopted child was "meant to be." But these parts are small and overall think the book is really good. T has heard it (while in a dozy state) many times already and I can now get through it without shedding a tear!

A friend gave us this book and I totally bawled my way through it, reading it out loud to Andrew, the first time! love it!!
Also, I don't think I've seen you use your son's name before, was that intentional?? (I love it.)

Wow, this sounds like a great book. We will have to get a copy when we have our little one.
Thanks for sharing!
