A book that you'll never forget!

I read this book about 30 years ago, when I was in elementary school, and I loved it. I reread it several times, and when I left home, I think Mom sold it in a garage sale. I've thought about it often over the years, and would love to have a copy again, so that I could reread it. I'm amazed that so many other people felt the same way about the book as I did. I can't believe that it's out of print!! What a wonderful story for all time!

Biology does not limit a parent's love.

I always wondered how hard it would be for a man or woman, no matter how desperately s/he wanted children, to love a child with whom s/he did not have a physical bond. This book was the best story about adoption I've ever heard. Even though the family really couldn't afford so many children, the parents made their money stretch just a little further so that they could provide for another child in need of a family. I admire these parents and hope that when I have children, biological or otherwise, I hope that I can give them as good a home as these children obviously had.

GREAT

My mom read this to me when I was 5 and I can still remember some of the funny stories. Now I am 25 & in the process of adopting my own family. I want a copy for both my mom & myself.

Heart-warming story of a couple who adopted needy children.

I read this book several times when I was in high school many years ago. It was one of the factors that influenced my husband and me to adopt several Asian children, all of them now grown. I was surprised and saddened to read in the newspaper some years ago that Helen and Carl Doss had divorced. No mention was made of where their grown children were living at that time or what they were doing. I'd love to read a sequel to this book but I doubt that there will ever be one.

Excellent Book!!

I bought this book at a used book store when I was in middle school. The book was so great that I read it at least once a year. Unfortunately, I lost my copy on a recent trip to Detroit. I am looking all over for it, so I can continue my annual read.
