Carried in Our Hearts: The Gift of Adoption: Inspiring Stories of Families Created Across Continents

Over the course of the past three decades, Dr. Jane Aronson has touched the lives of thousands of adopted children from around the world and, in this inspiring book, she presents moving first-person testimonies from families whose lives have been blessed by adoption. This book introduces us to Claude Knobler, a writer from Los Angeles who travelled to Ethiopia to adopt his son and had an emotional encounter with the boy’s courageous birth mother; actor Mary-Louise Parker, whose older son’s bond with his adopted baby sister was magically instant and Lynn Danzker, an entrepreneur, who set off alone to adopt her son and in the process, met and married her husband. The authors range from teachers to filmmakers, from stay-at-home dads to celebrities - all of them bound by their transformative experiences as adoptive parents.
