A good friend of my mom's is a romance writer and wrote a book about a couple adopting a baby in Kazakhstan. The book is out now and is called "The Baby Bind" written by Nikki Benjamin. The baby in the book is named "Katie" after my daughter. Here is her forward:
Dear Readers,
Several years ago, a close friend's daughter decided to adopt a child. She soon discovered that although she was a stable, healthy young woman and a dedicated teacher, her options were limited because she was also single.
Laura chose to pursue the foreign adoption alternative. Her journey to Kazakhstan to adopt the elder of her two daughters was the inspiration for "The Baby Bind". She has since rounded out her very special family with the recent adoption of her younger daughter, a little girl who was born in China.
Raising children seems to become more of a challenge every day. Yet it's heartening to see how many people choose to become loving, caring, devoted parents despite all the uncertainties they face.
This story is for all you parents out there and for all who hope to be parents one day. May all the dreams you have for yourselves and for your children come true!
Sincerely,
Nikki Benjamin
I am honored that her book was inspired by us. For anyone who likes romance novels, I highly recommend it. The Christmas after we came home from Kazakhstan, Barbara gave me a copy of her recent book. Katie loved the book and slept with it in her crib for months. It was her prized possesion and she would "read" it every night before she went to bed (she was 2 years old at the time). When she is old enough to understand, she will be thrilled that a book was inspired by her. Babara, thank you for that and thank you for being such a good friend to our family.
