My China Adoption Reading List
Amazon.com was my best friend during our adoption journey.  I deal with new things by reading about them and international adoption was no exception.  Many of the books that were recommended to me were available elsewhere, but Amazon.com always seemed to have the best price.  The following are links to some of my favorites.  Hopefully, I'll add my two cents worth on each  at some point...
