Best Selling Author Announces Release of "Son of My Soul – The Adoption of Christopher."

(Westerville , OH) November 9, 2007. Debra Shiveley Welch, best selling author, releases her new book Son of My Soul - The Adoption of Christopher to coincide with National Adoption Month this November. In this way, she fulfills her desire to raise awareness of the needs of children in our country for placement in loving families, especially those within the welfare and foster care system with special needs.

President George W. Bush proclaimed on October 31, 2007 that November 2007 was designated National Adoption Month. The President also stated that by accepting the gift of these young children into their lives, parents are helping to contribute to the strength of our nation.

This is the exact story of Son of My Soul – The Adoption of Christopher. The readers experience first hand the sometimes joyous, sometimes heartbreaking journey of adoption of one special needs baby and the profound way that child has changed those around him.

“There is a myth that there are many people standing in line to adopt special needs children. This is not true. Thousands of children are languishing in the system, waiting for a home – for love,” states Welch. She adds, “Special Needs – shouldn’t that translate to Special Love?”

Welch is a top selling author who has achieved a reputation as a master storyteller and Son of My Soul follows that legacy.

Midwest Books’ Senior Reviewer, Shirley Johnson has this to say about Son of My Soul – The Adoption of Christopher, “This is a book every adoptive parent should read, and every person who has a child of their heart, for in this read you will find the true meaning of love.”
