Everything In Its Own Time

Families don't just happen-they are made. And this is nowhere more evident than in adoptive families. Adoption can be a joyous, frustrating, uplifting, disheartening, frightening and exhilirating experience. Here, one adoptive mother tells the story of how she and her husband-and friends-formed their beautiful family. Everything In Its Own Time speaks to those who long for children but do not have them, for whatever reason, and reminds us all that, no matter how we strive, everything happens in its own time. "(A)n honest reflection of one family's quest to complete itself. Part memoir, raw and reflective; part guidebook for potential adoptive parents and birth parents alike; part tale of courage, love, divinity and direction. Ms. Falco does not leave any stone unturned in her detailed description of their family-forming odyssey. Humorous, gut-wrenching and informative." -Leslie Foge, MA, MFT, Adoption specialist and co-author of The Third Choice: A Woman's Guide To Placing a Child for Adoption "The author... describes the creation, with her husband, of their larger-than-usual family, and the struggle to knit them all together into one loving, noisy, happy, and precious group."-Melissa Fay Greene, author of Praying for Sheetrock and There Is No Me Without You
