The Best For You, Adoption Book Giveaway!

Been WAAAAY too long since we have done a giveaway, and I am in a really good mood so why not? It's a week of celebration for many, and for others a time to reflect. Whatever it is that you do with your Mother's Day this year I hope you will be celebrating the woman that you are!

Let's leave this post up until Monday, May 14th sot that there is plenty of time for all who wish to enter, can! What is it that you will be entered for? Why this of course ....

 
You see, I am a birth mother ... have been for over 20 years. I tried to find a book that would explain my point of view in adoption to help my children understand why it was that I chose adoption for them. I searched. And searched. Finally, after 15 long years of hoping I could find what I was looking for I decided to just bit the bullet and take a stab at what I wanted to see in a children's adoption book. The result? The Best For You, written and illustrated by little ole me!


So, here is what will put your name in the hat (literally, a hat. That is how I chose my winners ... old school style :)

Holy moly this is a fantastic idea! I would love to own this book, and maybe share it with my birth mother. I recently reconnected with her and it has been amazing. I want to wish a happy mothers day to my mother Louise, and my birth mother Marri.
