The Complete Adoption Handbook

At first glance, Kay Strom seemed to have written just another common place book on the adoption process. But upon further reading, I was very impressed by the thought provoking manner in which she encourages each individual considering or going through the adoption process to seek the Lord's guidance for each step taken. She does not "sugar coat" adoption like it's the TV sitcom "THE BRADY BUNCH," but weaves in accounts of actual families as they made their way through adoption. Though not a technical reference book like THE ADOPTION RESOURCE BOOK by Lois Gilman (by the way, is an invaluable adoption tool), Kay Strom makes you stop and evaluate your motivations before you jump into adoption. I highly recommend this book to any Christain since she does not "push" any particular "religious affiliation" when she encourages one to seek the Lord for His guidance.
