Books - Love Our Way

So I've been doing lots of research for an assignment about adopting from overseas, which led me to a really great book written by a mother in Canberra that adopted 6 children from overseas.  It's called 'Love Our Way' and it's by Julia Rollings.  She adopted a baby from Korea, then another baby with a condition that made him blind, then a older pair of brothers from India that were abandoned by their father and their last adoption was a brother and sister from India.  It is these last two children Akil and Sabila, that are the chunk of the story because they were actually taken by their father and sold illegally, which meant that their mother never knew what happened to them.

Anyway it is a fantastic read - it really opens your eyes to how many children out there are in need of a family.  I've always thought about perhaps adopting at a later stage and reading this really helped me to understand some of the responsibilities and hard work that comes with the decision to adopt.  It was also a really heartwarming read and I found it equally intriguing and helpful for my current assignment.  Julia Rollings also has a blog that talks a bit about the events after the book which can be found here.
