A MOTHER'S STORY
The Truth about the Baby M Case
by Mary Beth Whitehead with Loretta Schwartz-Nobel

A surrogate mother under contract to Bill and Betsy Stern, Whitehead
gave birth to the infant known as Baby M in 1986, but refused to
deliver her to the Sterns, giving rise to a case that generated
worldwide publicity and furious arguments. The couple was awarded full,
parental custody of the baby by a New Jersey court that forbade
Whitehead all contact with her child. But in 1988, the State Supreme
Court granted the biological mother visiting rights with "Sara," named
"Melissa" by her adoptive parents. Thanks to strong public support,
Whitehead won out over adversaries calling her unfit, to gain
recognition as a woman who should be allowed the company of her child.

"It is expecting something well beyond normal human capabilities to
suggest that this mother should have parted with her newly born infant
without a struggle. Other than survival, what stronger force is there?
We do not know of, and cannot conceive of, any other case where a
perfectly fit mother was expected to surrender her newly born infant,
perhaps forever, and was then told she was a bad mother because she did
not." New Jersey Supreme Court

COMPLETE BOOK OF PREGNANCY & BABY'S FIRST YEAR
The Ultimate Guide for Expectant Parents!

"Summoning information from the Mayo Clinic's expert staffs in
obstetrics, pediatrics, family medicine and parent education, this
detailed companion for prospective parents and the parents of very
young children offers more than ample guidance on what seems an almost
infinite range of subjects and important decisions facing parents.
Though focusing for the most part on basic prenatal, birthing and
developmental counseling, the book goes well beyond the minimum
standard expected. For example, in the chapter ``Pregnancy and Ongoing
Medical Conditions,'' the contributors discuss the effects of AIDS and
herpes on pregnancy; an entire chapter is devoted to the medical,
psychological and bureaucratic aspects of adoption; another counsels
mothers on when and how to return to their jobs after childbirth."

- Normal and High-Risk Pregnancies.
- All Aspects of Birth Preparation.
- The Birth Experience.
- Details on Baby Care and Development.
- Practical Guide to Infant Illnesses, Medical Problems and
Emergencies.
- Complete Information on Women's Health During the Year After
Childbirth.
- Special Chapters for Fathers, Working Parents, Adoptive Parents,
Parents of Premature Babies and Twins.
- And much, much more.

MY FIRST FIVE YEARS
A Record of Early Childhood
by Anne Geddes

For every parent, a baby's early years are filled with memorable
firsts-first smiles . . . first words . . . first steps . . . first
Christmas. It's natural that an artist best known for her celebration
of babies would create the perfect place to save these precious moments
for posterity. My First Five Years is graced throughout with the
remarkable images of acclaimed photographer Anne Geddes. Each turn of
the page reveals an enchanting image and yet another example of her
deep and abiding love for babies. Through Geddes' eyes we are able to
experience the innocence and preciousness of new life. My First Five
Years is filled with touches that make this a truly special journal-an
envelope to hold a baby's first lock of hair, height and weight charts
to track growth through the years, and plenty of room for announcements
and your own child's photos and mementos. My First Five Years will
become a treasured keepsake of a time that passes all too quickly.

Hardback. 79 pages. Bottom right corner a little small bend, otherwise
book is new. (retail $22) Will sell for $10

ONE TINY HOPE
A Journal to My Adopted Child
by Kari Gilliam Palmer

Moving memoir offers insight into emotions surrounding adoption.

From the very first page, this compelling exploration of infertility

and adoptions issues captivates readers. In journal style addressed to
her future adopted child, Palmer writes candidly about her experiences
and feelings while traveling the often rough road from infertility to
adoption.

Although there are many books available that explain the adoption
process, this one explores instead the emotional issues prospective
adoptive parents must face. It is not a how-to for adoption, but rather
a story of how one woman deals first with infertility and it's impact
on her marriage, then with the pursuit of adoption, despite
overwhelming odds.

In this book, you'll learn:
- About the dark side of the adoption world and how to avoid it.
- Some of the myths surrounding birth mothers.
- That carrying a baby to term does not necessarily equate to love for
a child.
- How important perseverance and hope are go the adoption process.

Autographed!

Hardback. 257 pages. New. (I have 2 of these.) (Retails $17). Will sell
for $8
