I found this book because I was looking for books that concerned international adoption (specifically China). However, nothing could have prepared me for how amazing this story is! This book touched me so deeply that it will always be a part of me. The author, the mother of one biological child and an infant adopted from China had decided "no more children" until she saw the picture of a little girl on a website. Something told her that that child was HER daughter - and her life would never be the same. 4 year old Jaclyn is an intense and active child - but that was not the only adjustment that she had in store for Cindy and her family. Jaclyn couldn't forget about a little boy back in China that she had loved and cared for (she called him "her baby") and from the moment that she could speak English all she did was ask her new mom and dad to go to China and get him, too! This touching and beautiful story talks frankly about adoption of an older child, the mixing of families, and how even when you think there is NO more money or room in your heart or life for another child, somehow love finds a way. What a miracle love is for everyone involved!!
