Our Very Own
“Our Very Own” is an inspiring collection of true stories. Honest, heartfelt and reflective, these stories give readers poignant glimpses of the raw emotions which the adoptive parents go through – unbearable pain, fears, anxieties, feelings of longing and despair – while celebrating their journey of unconditional love, courage, fulfilled dreams, hope and self-discovery. The book also addresses practical adoption issues like making a decision on adoption, the adoption process, and ways to care for adopted children. A first-of-its-kind in Singapore, “Our Very Own” is a vital resource book for adoptive parents and for service providers working in the area of adoption.
