[.ca] Waiting for You: The Heirloom Adoption Journal for My ... (ISBN 0972394206)

Thoughtful and Inspiring Gift - HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS:
My daughter turned to adoption after years of agonizing and unsuccessful infertility treatments. This book offered her power and patience. Not only did "Waiting for You" celebrate her journey towards motherhood, it also validated my understanding of her journey. Now that's she and her husband have decided to adopt, her pain has melted and she has the energy and excitement of the little girl I raised, heading out the door with optimism towards her first lemonaid stand. I came across this book by accident on Amazon and ordered it directly from the author through their "used and new" feature. It came brand new and hand-signed by the author, plus I saved a few dollars. I bought two copies - one for my daughter and one for my son-in-law. They are already using them and my daughter says that it has strengthened their commitment to adopt, to each other, and to their faith in Christ. She loves the inspiring quotes on each page. All those years of infertility - I felt so powerless. I couldn't take away the pain of my own baby. This book is great way to help celebrate God's intended path.

Phenomenal Book!!:
What a wonderful book for those who are adopting! This book truly encourages you to put into words your emotions and desires as you venture through the adoption process. I have not seen a book that caters so well specifically to the adopted child, as a keepsake. This will honestly be a book your lucky child will keep forever as a journal of your journey to adopt. All of the emotions and anticiaption will be captured in this beautiful book. This book is better than any traditional baby book I have seen! A book of this sort would be wonderful for any parent, but would especially help those who have been having fertility and/or miscarriage problems. This book really moved me. Mrs. Davis, if you read this, please consider expanding to write books for those populations as well.

It's About Time:
8 Gazillion Pregnancy Journals and Nothing for Those adopting. A friend told me about this book and I was almost afraid to get my hopes up, but it turns out, I could have. THIS BOOK IS BEAUTIFUL. I will be sad to see it go out of print. I'm glad my daughter will have one. I'm not a scrapbook person so this is JUST the right about of prep time with the beautiful end product. I'm sure scrapbook-aholics would love it also, but I'm not what we call, "creative." At the same time, I want my daughter to know that I love her and this book will help affirm that. THANKS!

Beautiful, Inspiring, Inclusive, Empowering Tool:
What a blessed book! Filled with touching quotes, this is a perfect gift for adopting parents prior to placement. It is designed for a parent to create a sort of autobiography of themselves for their future child. Adopting couples would probably need two copies. Would work for infant or older child adoptions, as well as domestic or international, and single parent, married couples, or alternative families. Well-made. Heirloom Quality. Highest recommendations.

A unique idea:
We are all, as prospective adoptive parents, bursting inside with anticipation and happiness, and to put down our feelings and thoughts in a journal for our future child is a lovely idea. I wish I had done this for our daughter, and will certainly recommend the book to friends who are adopting. I have an idea for Kirsten Davis: I wrote a journal during the four-month period we were waiting to meet our birthmother. I couldn't help writing it.
