Review by Allison Martin

A Passage to the Heart is a unique and informative collection of essays about adoption from China, straight from those involved - adoptive parents. One hundred essays from Families with Children from China (FCC) newsletters around the United States are brought together in this well organized book. Anyone interested in adoption from China will find A Passage to the Heart to be both useful and inspirational.

The articles are well written and thoughtful, providing experienced insight into the adoption journey and into the lives of adoptive families. Essays cover a wide variety of topics, including what to expect in your adoption, why infant are abandoned, travel suggestions, caring for your baby abroad, and settling in back home. The breadth of coverage makes this book an excellent resource even after the adoption process is complete. Post adoption topics such as the health and development, older child adoption, single parenting, and biracial families are addressed in depth.

An excellent resource for anyone interested or involved in adoption from China, readers will be well versed in many aspects of the journey even before they take a step in China.
