Representing a broad spectrum of life and featuring twenty leading writers, all of whom are adoptive parents, A Love Like No Other reflects the diversity of American familes that have come together through adoption. From the personal experiences of single parents and same-sex couples to those who have participated in domestic as well as international adoptions, these stories offer vivid and beautifully rendered snapshots of the parenting experience. By turns humorous, sobering, provocative, joyous — and all refreshingly honest — A Love Like No Other introduces the reader to a complex, emotional, candid and wholly recognizable look at the new American family.

“Finally, a book on family values—real family values, without any sanctimonious talk of religion or politics. It is in the end, after all, all about kids, and in this case, kids from all corners of the globe.”
