It would be easy to accept this book as 'another adoption story' that is until you read it. From the first words the reader is caught up in the account, enthralled by not just the tale but the telling of it. Ms. Shiveley Welch's talent reveals the journey to, love, her decision, her new and wonderful child and most of all her earnest desire and steadfast belief that everything would come to pass.
