Still an invaluable tool for expectant mothers, The Third Choice triumphantly returns to print, better than everRecognizing the absence of written materials for women considering adoption, Ms. Foge and Ms. Mosconi were determined to produce a guidebook that could provide answers and support to birthmothers. The Third Choice takes potential birthmothers through their pregnancies; the birth, the relinquishing process, and the grief and recovery periods afterward.
In this second edition, the authors have added new concepts, deepened ideas set forth in the first edition, and bolstered the already comprehensive resource guide.
Review: "Finally! A comprehensive, intelligent guide for adults facing the complexities of placing a child up for adoption...What an illuminating addition!"
-Gail Steinberg, PACT, An Adoption Alliance
"An essential resource for pregnant women considering adoption."
-Anne C. Bernstein, author of Flight of the Stork: What Children Think (and When) about Sex and Family Building
"The Third Choice is the most helpful, complete, loving guide for birth parents that I have read."
-Debbie Parelskin, MSW, co-author, My Special Family
