Life Through the Eyes of Candy

About the Book

Life Through the Eyes of Candy: Adoption, Trials and Happiness - "Life is What You Make It!" is the story of Candy's personal life journey of adoption that started 34 years ago, from the time learning about her adoption, coping with struggles and many "blows" in her time as a young child, teenage years to her late 20s. Having to deal with her peers, once they had learned that Candy was adopted.

Poems that Candy has written over time...photos of both sides if the family....

What a magnificent feeling, meeting your birth family for the very first time is. It is a feeling that you can not possibly express...but not all went smoothly at first!

In sharing my personal journey, I hope that I may be able to answer some questions that many may have with their own adoption. Also, I want to shine some light, but most importantly to show that there is happiness and nothing is impossible - believe in yourself.

Not only can you read a real life journey about an adoption that was meant to be, you can go beyond and meet the faces, on DVD, with interviews on both sides. There is family that I was raised with and my birth family. They too go into depth about their emotions and relate how I was in my younger years, and how proud they are now about what their daughter was able to achieve in life.
