Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is not at all what I was expecting. I felt it read more like an instructional manual then a book, and there was little depth to each chapter. I was expecting a bit more about their interactions as a family and how the children did once arriving home, etc. It really didn't go much beyond the matching and adoption process, and this repeated many times over. If you have never adopted before and are interested in the process this might be a good book for you. If you have already been through the process you may find it quite repetitive, as I did.I would be more interested to learn more about how this family functions in their day to day life being a family with 12 adopted children.

Are they all yours? Do you run a day care? Is this a youth group? Why didn t you want to have any children of your own? These are questions faced often by parents of large families, but especially by adoptive parents. What makes the Fletcher family s story unique is that their twelve children all came home within twelve years.Five children are Hispanic. One is biracial. Two are Asian. Four are Caucasian. Ten are from four state foster care systems from across the United States, two are from a Guatemalan orphanage. At the writing of this book, they range in age from 10-22 but they arrived between the ages of 9 months and 12 years. Together the family has confronted (and in some cases resolved) a myriad of challenges. Each is a unique individual with special gifts and contributions to make to the world.This book is the account, with helpful wisdom along the way, of an adoptive family s first twelve years, recounting how each child was claimed. Two Adults. Twelve Children. One Family.
