Written by Leslie Foge. This was recommended to me by a fellow birthmum.

Foge and Mosconi, both family and child counselors, have facilitated more than 500 adoptions in the past ten years, and this experience shines through in their book. They are respectful of the conflicting emotions experienced by women with unplanned pregnancies and are also aware of the myriad decisions that have to be made. They cover a lot of ground, but their approach is so low-key and nonjudgmental that readers can easily absorb what theyre trying to say. Areas covered include open adoption and other options, what to look for in adoptive parents, what to expect during pregnancy, what kind of emotions might come up, and the legal aspects of adoption. Although the chapter of the book dealing with birth fathers and other birth relatives seems to be thrown together, and the list of resource agencies could be a lot more inclusive.
