Loving the "Unadoptable"

Book Cover & Preview Text
There are many challenges in parenting a special needs child, especially an adopted child. This book describes many challenges my husband, son, and I faced during the first six years we had him. For the purpose of privacy, I have changed the names of the actual people described in this book. It takes a lot of patience to be a parent. Even the training foster parents receive cannot include all the possibilities in raising a child that is both adopted, and special needs. By special needs, I mean a child that has a disability, whether it be physical, developmental, or psychological.

About the Book
Meet Cory, a young boy who was in foster care several years before he was adopted. He went from home to home, to the hospital and residential treatment, before going to the home of the author. This is a story of how love transcends all difficulties, how adoptive parents handled the behavior of their son, and how they never gave up. They realized how challenging, yet rewarding, adopting an older child can be.
