my Goodreads is having an attitude about transferring this, but here's my review of an adoption memoir I'm currently reading:
Baby, We Were Meant for Each Other: In Praise of Adoption by Scott Simon
Warm and humorous if rambling memoir about one of my beloved NPR radio hosts and his wife adopting two girls from China.
I'm a bit put off by the highly non-chronological order, but it's still an engaging and very real book of the joys and challenges (paperwork! intrusive questions and clearances! more paperwork!) of adoption and parenthood.
This slim (178-page) memoir a heartening book for people like me still going through the long pre-child adoption process, and a good way for non-adoptive people to understand the physical and emotional details.
I confess I'm getting all mushy, even over the spitting-up stories. And reading some of the humorous moments to my husband.
