Confessions of an Adoptive Parent: Hope and Help from the Trenches of Foster Care and Adoption by Mike Berry

lizard1508's review against another edition

I felt this author was over sharing his children’s stories with readers and it feels like those stories are not his to share to the extent that he did.

Mike Berry is the real deal as a fellow adoptive/foster parent and delivers healthy doses of empathy, hope, and encouragement in this book. If you find yourself anywhere on this journey and are asking questions about whether you’re the only one, I recommend you read this book. Not a how-to book on adoption (there are plenty of these resources), but fills a much-needed gap in life-giving to anyone who is also “in the trenches” and reminds us of truths we may not have realized we’d forgotten. I appreciate Mike’s authenticity in sharing about his family’s own experiences and the secret thoughts so few are willing to say out loud. Me too, brother. Me too.
