Book Description

An inspirational "must read" for any adoptee, family trying to adopt, or birth mother. In journal style format addressed to her future adopted child. Palmer writes candidly about her experiences and feelings while becoming an unwilling expert on the world of adoption as she searches intently for a child. With raw emotion, and events that read like fiction, this book exposes the heart of every person waiting to become a parent through adoption and touches the heart of every person who reads it.

From the Publisher

Palmer makes you want to stand up and cheer her on through every obstacle she had to overcome in order to find her baby she had always longed to have... This is one of the most rewarding books. I promise when you finish, your heart will smile because you have experienced the truth that miracles really can come true.

From the Author

This book was written for all adopted children everywhere so they would know how much their adoptive parents wanted and love them. I also wanted all birth mothers to know what a wonderful thing they have done by helping someone like myself who would have never been able to have a family with out them. Also to give other couples trying to adopt hope that their day will come, and their child will be well worth the wait.
