Labours of Love: Canadians Talk About Adoption

by Deborah A. Brennan

Dundurn | October 8, 2008 | Trade Paperback

Adoption is not for the faint of heart. Labours of Love chronicles the journeys of Canadians who have overcome heartbreaking obstacles to become parents. Their stories are as diverse as our country, and span the borders of our world. While each account is unique in its own way, the stories are connected by the overwhelmingly commonality of the power of human connection.

A must!

This is a beautiful book. The stories are moving, enlightening, and bittersweet. I haven't seen another book like it. I was grateful, as an adoptive mom, that so many people were willing to share such personal stories. The photography shows such a range of emotion from the participants, and I wish the paper quality was better because of that. The author, Deborah Brennan, wrote with such compassion and heart. I couldn't read this book all at once, but I've reread many of the stories several times. It is a must read for anyone who is touched by adoption.
A number of professionals are also profiled in the book, and that's definitely helpful to anyone trying to understand the adoption world.
