As an adoptee and an adoption social worker, I found this book to be both meaningful and unique. A beautifully woven story filled with love and positivity for everyone involved in adoption. - Lainie B., MSW (Director, Adoption Choices of Nevada) As an Adoptive Parent Coordinator who works alongside waiting adoptive parents, I appreciate that this book provides hope and light during a journey that can be difficult. The way this story is full of meaning and love is perfectly done. I am excited to share this with everyone! - Amanda K. (Director, LifeLong Adoptions) Love Without Wings is a beautiful and thoughtfully written fairy tale about adoption from the unique perspective of love from the child's biological and adoptive parents. This is often not depicted in children's picture books. The endless expression of gratitude from the two kings for the fairy's gift of love through wishing stars was a nice touch. This book is a wonderful addition to a child's library and a much-needed therapeutic tool for child psychologists. - Geraldine O., Ph.D. (Child Psychologist) As a mother of an adopted child, I am very careful how I shape my son's story of adoption. This book has the perfect balance of magic and love! - Megan S. As an adoptee, I never had the great opportunity to see a children's story that reflected my family. It's wonderful to see it happening in Love Without Wings. As an adopted kid, being wanted is a key ingredient to feeling loved, and this book really sends that message. - Mike P.
