Shattered Hearts (Paperback)

Morgan and Daniel, two teachers, could not have their own children. Adoption seemed to be a normal option open for them. It would give them a family, a new life to live, hope, love and much more. A little boy appeared in their lives and captured their hearts.

The narrative unfolds in painstaking detail and follows Morgan and Daniel as they attempt to navigate through a complex, deeply personal experience, and a bewildering bureaucratic process. It reads like a diary with a first-person narrative that absorbs the reader totally. This is a heart-wrenching story written with profound honesty and fully detailed. It is a document of human emotion and a veritable roller-coaster of hope and despair, stress, and incomprehensibility, of bureaucratic power and obfuscation, how two individuals’ dream turns into a devastating reality.

This book raises many serious questions about our social reality. It is more than a painful personal story about the adoption process. It poses troublesome questions about who the genuine advocates for children are, children, who often cannot be advocates for themselves.
