Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Tom McQueen died shortly after he was born. Apparently God wasn t expecting such a quick trip home so He returned Tom to his parents, Joe and Marie McQueen. The enlightenment of that journey from birth to death and back to life again permanently colored Tom s world as a Christian therapist, consultant to Fortune 500 companies, personal coach, and author. His inspirational workshops and seminars have touched the hearts of audiences throughout North America.Tom is the president of the American Family Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of children and families in the United States. An avid Tampa Bay Lightning hockey fan, Tom celebrates the blessings of his family, friends, and colleagues on Florida s beautiful west coast. And one of his very first gifts to Ethan was, of course, a miniature hockey stick.AUTHOR HOME: Palm Harbor, FL

Aus dem Klappentext

Elisabeth O'Toole's clear, insightful, and comprehensive guide to adoption is written expressly for and to a readership generally overlooked: the extended family and friends of new adoptive parents. Grandparents and neighbors anxious about what to say or do will be heartened by this fine book's conversational tone and generous spirit. They'd be wise to accept the welcome into "the adoption circle" that In On It extends. And adoptive families will be glad they cared enough to read it.--Cheri Register, author of "'Are Those Kids Yours?' American Families with Children Adopted from Other Countries" and "Beyond Good Intentions: A Mother Reflects on Raising Internationally Adopted Children." Excellent. Practical and sensitive wisdom for anyone supporting a loved one s adoption process.--Corrie L. Wold, MSW, LISW, Information and Education Director, Children s Home Society and Family Services, Minneapolis Elisabeth O Toole addresses the complex and emotional experience of adoption with humor and respect, opening a path for friends and relatives to become insiders to the process. In On It is a well-written resource for people who want to support their loved ones, but aren t always sure what to do or say. This book will remain on my recommended reading list for adoptive families and their friends. --Janna Annest, adoptive parent and adoption law columnist, Adoptive Families Magazine
