Adoptive Parents
by Rae SimonsSome couples can't have children, for a variety of reasons. Meanwhile, too many children don't have families of their own to love and care for them. When these couples reach out to adopt these children, new families are formed-and like all families, they have a whole set of issues and complications, some of them unique to their situation. Raising any child has challenges, and raising an adopted child has some extra ones. What about birth families? Are they going to be a part of the child's life? What do you tell the child about his birth and adoption? The families in this book have all had their own struggles and complications they've had to deal with, but they've had many joys as well and learned a lot through their experiences.

Adora
by Bertrice SmallThis is a novel about a Byzantine princess who is forced to marry an Ottoman sultan, although she and his son love each other. There is intrigue, love and hate relationships, sexual scenes. The events are historically accurate; the people and their actions were real. Of course the conversations and personalities are the author's creations, although she seems to have based the personalities on historical descriptions of them nd their actions and reactions. English spelling of many words. The spelling of names and places is accurate. Bosporous and Bosphorous are both used in the book, and the Strait so named can be spelled both ways,so I left the spellings as the author did them.
