Did my real parents love me? Do my adoptive parents love me? Does God love me? A sensitive story about an adopted girl who asks the troubling questions of most adopted children, and finds satisfying answers. The setting is the Great Depression and WWII -- historically a difficult time, but for this family a kinder, gentler time wrapped in love and learning -- a time worth reading about. Recommended for age 10 through adult. (No indiscretion, no violence, no bad language. A rare find.)

The Adoption Club is an easy, quick, delightful read, which i loved! It gave me a nostalgic, warm feeling of the holidays and a sense of what the depression era was like. I could smell, taste and feel every bit!

Great book! Not something I normally read, but because I know Barbara Scott and knew her mother, (whose life this book is modeled after) I couldn't wait to read it! I enjoyed it emensely! I couldn't put it down once I started, felt I knew someone in a deeper way and understood adoption through new eyes. Barbara has always been sensitive to others feelings and needs and those qualities make this book a great read and a great product. I would highly recommend this book, especially for someone who has experienced adoption!
