Synopsis

To all adoptive parents whose yearning for a child enabled you to persevere, even in your darkest days when you thought it would never happen and the system seemed cold and uncaring. They say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, but, in our case, it very nearly did-and the ramifications continue. Has this journey been a blessing or a curse? The jury's still out on that one, as our lives continue to hold pockets of love and joy amid chaos and desperation. Lest you think our experience with the British adoption system was because we were gay, we include our friend's story at the conclusion of ours; her tale is just as frustrating and gut-wrenching. Though we know there are many inspiring and happy adoption stories out there, we still must say to anyone considering adoption: Be prepared and beware!

Biographie de l'auteur

We are dads of children who were damaged through the process of being with parents that didn't understand the needs of their children. We are dads to two boys that challenge us everyday but wouldn't change it for the world. We wrote the book as therapy to help us grieve being parents who live with the most wonderful, beautiful but damaged kids, and for us to realize that we couldn't solve all their problems.
