That journal book looks interesting. I may have to look into buying that one. I have all the other books you listed because my cousin was adopting through New Hope a couple of years ago and she had the books from them. So she lent them to me. Some are good - some are boring. I also just bought Reaching Out. Like you said it is very informative. My cousin and his wife ended up getting pregnant during the homestudy. Great timing. They ended up all together having three of their own children naturally after three failed IVFs. What luck for them. That is what I am hoping happens with us. You never know.
Talk to you later,
