Publisher's Synopsis
As Tara's life story led her to begin the process of adopting a child from China, she had no idea of the cost or how adoption worked in the United States, much less in China. Adopting internationally can be a daunting process for anyone, but especially for a single mother. In a guide tailored for any parent either considering or currently moving through the process of international adoption, Smith shares valuable insight and practical tools that will help anyone navigate through this major life decision that includes filling out complex paperwork, choosing an agency, financing the process, traveling to a foreign land, preparing the home, and adjusting to a new normal once the child arrives. Throughout her presentation, Smith offers a glimpse into her own experiences as she moved through each challenge to finally attain the joy of meeting her daughter for the first time.
