Recognizing the absence of written materials for women considering adoption, Ms. Foge and Ms. Mosconi were determined to produce a guidebook that would provide answers, support and guidance. After being out of print for almost two years, the authors have re-written and self-published the second edition of this important book. The second edition expands on the original concepts, deepens the ideas set forth in the first edition and includes a comprehensive resource guide. The Third Choice, Second Edition, is a wonderful tool for women seeking support during a difficult time.

Reviews

Foge and Mosconi, both family and child counselors, have facilitated more than 500 adoptions in the past ten years, and this experience shines through in their book. They are respectful of the conflicting emotions experienced by women with unplanned pregnancies and are also aware of the myriad decisions that have to be made. They cover a lot of ground, but their approach is so low-key and nonjudgmental that readers can easily absorb what theyre trying to say. Areas covered include open adoption and other options, what to look for in adoptive parents, what to expect during pregnancy, what kind of emotions might come up, and the legal aspects of adoption. Although the chapter of the book dealing with birth fathers and other birth relatives seems to be thrown together, and the list of resource agencies could be a lot more inclusive, this book is recommended for public libraries.Pamela A.
