Fatherhood at 50 will change your life. Changes like swapping golf clubs for poopy diapers, fine dining replaced by macaroni and popsicles and your darling child wiping her nose on your slacks just before you leave for a client appointment. When you are a grumpy person because the world seems an increasingly insane place, when you long for nothing more than peace and quiet while Barney blares nauseating songs on TV, your kids climb on you like monkey bars and smear jelly fingerprints on your tie, what happens when they look up at you with big clear eyes and ask Daddy, can we go on a golf cart ride? When you hide in your office because you've had enough kiddie stuff to last a month and are just about to scream, what happens when your little girl disobeys and sneaks in the door to give you a hug?

Great book. I highly recommend anyone adopting from China buy this book - not just read it. It is a father writing about his adoptions from China. At the end of the book he has written to his daughters the things he wants them to know about life in case he's not around. It is outstanding. He also shows pictures & text for a powerpoint presentation he did for his girls with their adoption story. All great idea's & very helpful. I got more belly laughs out of this book than I have from any other book in a long time. This book is going off sale so if you are interested in it find a copy NOW!!! ( )
