Labor of the Heart
Some helpful info and things to think about, but also silly exercises designed to reveal your feelings about different choices you may face. I really didn't care for the author's view of adoption: She espouses a sense of entitlement; that prospective adoptive parents "deserve" a child. She also emphasizes families needing children over children needing families and perpetuates the idea that there is a fated perfect match, and if the adoptive parents will somehow (whether through making the right choices or through foreordained closing doors) find the child who is meant to join their family.
