Summary: For the wonderful Birthmothers
Review: Dear readers,
I highly recommend this book if you placed your baby for adoption. It is one of the most diffacult things to endure, but this book shows and tells how amazing we birthmothers are. I am a birthmother of a little boy named Alexander. I was having a diffacult time in the beginning, then my mother gave me this book. In the book, your name (birthmother's) is placed in the paragraphs, so it's telling the story to your child about you. I love this book because it's written with all regards to the birthmother. It helps with reminding what a caring and unselfish decision we have made. It's a perfect gift to give to a birthmother. She will love and appreciate it! It is something that I will treasure forever.

Summary: This birthmother never stopped loving her for 32 years
Review: Several months ago a dear friend gave me this book as a gift. As another birthmom I am sure that she knew the impact that this beautifully written book would have on me. I felt totally validated for a decision that I reluctantly made 32 years ago. I placed my first order for this book and sent it to my birthdaughter. Even though she was then 31 she stated that she loved the book and it had been the best gift that she had ever received. One of the last illustrations in the books shows Annie sitting in a rocking chair with a contemplative look on her face...the next and last page of the book shows the rocking chair empty. This empty chair represented the emptiness that I felt after placement, but also the hope that I had done what was best for my child. Yes, it is very true....I never,never,never stopped loving my baby. Since that time I have obtained many copies of this lovely book and have shared it with other birthmothers, adult adoptees and adoptive parents. All have been touched by this book. Jolene has touched the heart and souls of many of us touched by adoption. I recommend this book to all involved in adoption.

Summary: We need more books like this one honoring birthmothers
Review: The title of the book beautifully reflects the love the author instills in the reader, young and old, for birthmothers. The idea to have the name of the birthmother written in the paragraphs is a wonderful way to tell her story to the child. The author not only honors birthmothers but emphasizes what a caring and unselfish decision they had made, and that they love their absent children every day of their lives. We have met our birthmother after 29 years (she found us) and know that all this applies to her. She never stopped loving her child. We too always loved our birthmother during all these years and now that we've met, we have a loving relationship.
