About the Book



An adoptive father offers guidance, empathy, and encouragement to men considering adoption by sharing his journey through disappointment, reluctance, fear, and frustration to the ultimate triumph of finding his son.



Book Synopsis



Eric was perfectly happy being one half of a dual income, no kids family. Having the freedom to travel the world with his wife Christine, while indulging his hobbies and furthering his education and career, was a pretty sweet life.

Christine wanted to be a mom.

Though he was scared he didn't have what it took to be a good dad, Eric wanted to fulfill his wife's dream. After years of trying to conceive, however, the couple received a devastating diagnosis: infertility.

For Christine, adoption was the obvious answer. Eric wasn't so sure.

In Finding My Son: A Father's Adoption Journey, author Eric Odell-Hein offers an unfiltered view into the heart and mind of a man who has experienced the sometimes messy and often awkward process of becoming a father through adoption. Encouraging men to acknowledge the fears they don't want to admit while advocating a thoughtful, deliberate transparency as the best approach to even the most unnatural, uncomfortable aspects of the adoption process, Eric shares his misgivings and mistakes with an honesty that does not deny his insecurities.

A valuable resource for any man considering growing his family through adoption--or anyone seeking to understand the process--this engaging memoir is a testament to the beautiful gift of adoption and a touching account of a father's love.
