Book Cover & Preview Text
I walked into the Adoption agency in May of 2008, with the expectation of seeing a tiny, fragile face looking like a mix of my husband and I, staring back at me. Instead, the five year old with the gorgeous cocoa skin, that actually looked to be more like the age of eight, and appeared to be able to hold Me in her lap, picked up all she possessed, contained in a large, old Tupperware tub, looked me straight in the eye with a tear in hers and said, “Okay, I’m ready”.

About the Book
“We have to be wealthy before we adopt.” “Why don’t I look like my Mom and Dad?” “Older children have so much emotional baggage.”
Do these phrases sound familiar whenever anyone mentions adoption? Or did you adopt an older child? Unmirrored Faces is one family’s account of many of the same issues facing many families that have had the adoption seed planted in their heart.
