In The Adoption Option, Colleen Hartridge offers a compassionate, honest guide for anyone considering adoption after infertility. Without pressure or false promises, she walks readers through the emotional and practical realities: the grief that can coexist with hope, the different adoption routes, the spectrum of openness, and the legal and financial questions to ask. This book does not promise a baby or a timeline. Instead, it helps readers understand their options, examine their motivations, and decide whether adoption aligns with their family-building goals. With clear explanations and gentle encouragement, Danforth supports readers in making an informed choice—whether that choice is adoption, another path, or simply taking more time.
