"I've just finished reading Bubble Wrapped Children.  My wife and I are approved adopters and we've just been linked with 2 children."So what" you may ask yourself? I've read through your book and after reading loads of other materials I can say hand on heart that you've made so many things come together that have challenged my views on direct contact.  There is so much advice you've imparted that once my wife has read your book, I'm going to get my parents and best friend to read it before I re-read it again! I've never felt the need to contact an Author before but it's been so incredibly useful and relevant to read your views and experiences, and at just the right time for us that I wanted to say a personal thank you to you."
