Customer Reviews

Excellent Christian Overview of Adoption

This easy-to-read book is a good first book for Christian couples considering adoption, especially if you don't quite know what direction to go. The stories are uplifting and humerous, and each chapter outlines a different aspect of adoption. Certainly not an end-all book, but an excellent place to start.

Inspiring and touching

For those who are interested in adoption as means of buiding a family, Jorie Kincaid has written a heartfelt and spiritually based guide to help decide if this path is right for you. I first read this book on the airplane in route of adopting our second child and even now after the adoption of our third find it a lovely reminder of how wonderful and transforming the choice of adoption can be. If the idea of adopting a child to parent and love is in your heart, "Adopting for Good" gives many examples of how and why this is a wonderful choice!

A blessed reader from Apex, North Carolina -8/99

I think Jorie Kincaid did an outstanding job of letting you know just what was on her heart and just what kind of life these children have. Before I started reading this book, our desire to adopt was pure selfishness, we wanted a little girl. After I got done reading this book, our perspective changed. We wanted to help save a childs life. All of us in the U.S. have no idea what it is like to be without, but the children over in other countries do. We need to be a more thankful people because God has blessed us with so much. Next time you are contemplating over adopting, just think "you are saving a childs life". God will surely bless you for your decision.

The best single adotion guide available.

I am an adoption attorney in Florida. This book is the single best resource for people considering adoption I have ever read. It gives good, common sense answers to nearly all of the questions people have when they first start to consider adopting. This book should be every adoptive parent's first stop for basic information. Ms. Kincaid has done a wonderful service for the adoption community.

A must for all parents

If you are adopting domestically or internationally, you need to buy this book.
