Publisher's Summary:

Andrea Ott-Dahl, who with her partner Keston Ott-Dahl has two other children, agreed to act as a pregnancy surrogate for a wealthy Silicon Valley family. When pre-natal testing revealed the baby would be born with Down Syndrome, Andrea was urged to abort the child. Instead, the Ott-Dahl's chose to keep and raise the daughter they would call Delaney, overcoming their fears while navigating legal, medical and emotional challenges.

Studying all they could about care for their special needs daughter led them to become avid activists out of their experience. Despite heart surgery and an array of other challenges, Delaney at age three is alive, thriving, and an inspiration to every loving parent on the planet.

Love and compassion wins

I waited on this book and counted down the days. It took me longer to read than it normally would but I have a busy toddler.

This book was very well written, I truly feel like I know each person, they were explained very well, even down to the places you visited. You could visualize the whole book, which made some parts an uh oh!

I honestly keep thinking how cruel and mean Liz was and how rude Rob was and how on earth could you possibly be so heartless, but the end explains it.. We can't change how someone feels, but both your hearts felt love and compassion and you fought through just like Delaney did. You were the bigger person! Those 4, well there is a reason they are not parents:) I'm honored to watch Delaney grow through pictures. Thank you for sharing this amazing love story!!! Great book!!!!

It is a wonderful book and you quickly get to know the people ...

This was delivered yesterday and I read it in one sitting. It is a wonderful book and you quickly get to know the people in it, along with their thoughts and hopes. My husband and I adopted three special needs kids and I totally understand everything that goes through your head and your heart while preparing to bring home a child who is different. Our kids are the greatest blessing we can imagine and I can tell Delaney is that too. So glad she is in the family she was meant to be with. Thanks for sharing your amazing story.

One truly amazing story about following your heart .....

Could not wait to start this book and after having it in my hands after just one hour I began and could not put it down .... !! You can not walk away from reading this book without having a fuller heart. I am in total awe over how this sweet little girl was allowed to be welcomed into such a beautiful family as the Ott-Dahl family. Everyone should be able to feel the love sweet little Delaney has brought to this world. Believe me ... This book is well worth every second you put into it !!!
