Can You Make a Dream Come True?

As you know, my autobiography Son of My Soul – The Adoption of Christopher is now available.

I know that you all want to support me, but many cannot afford to buy anything right now, especially with Christmas coming up. Frankly, I wouldn’t ask you to because it’s just not what I’m about. But with an investment of just a few minutes, you can help me in a very profound way.

If you could call your local library, or go online at their web site, and request that they order the book, you will help me to possibly reach my goal of having the book released in hard cover. This is a very emotional write for me, and means more to me than any other work of mine that has been released. If I could have it published in hard cover, it would make a long-held dream come true, not only for the cover, but to be in libraries across the country.

Here is the information you will need:

Title: Son of My Soul – The Adoption of Christopher
Author: Debra Shiveley Welch
• Publisher: Saga Books (October 17, 2007)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1894936930
• ISBN-13: 978-1894936934

This would mean so much to me! This is about my journey toward the adoption of my sweet son and is his legacy. I would love for him to have a durable hard cover to keep and hand down to his children.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

Ohio Author Speaks Out For Special Needs Adoption

(Westerville, OH) November 15, 2007. Ohio native and author, Debra Shiveley Welch, announces the release of her new book, Son of My Soul - The Adoption of Christopher to coincide with National Adoption day on November 17, 2007.

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 reader experiences first hand the sometimes joyous, sometimes heartbreaking journey of the 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.”

Debra Shiveley Welch is available for interviews and speaking engagements. You can contact her at 624-882-6683
