A Family of Choice

A Family of Choice is a love story about how the author and his adopted children found each other. Hampsch takes readers by the hand and walks them through his experiences with the international adoption process which were both terrifying and miraculous. Though everything was against him, love ultimately prevailed.



A Family of Choice is a compelling true story of love, courage, and persistence to save the lives of two orphan children, and build an American family. It is as informative for those considering international adoption as it is heart-warming and inspiring for those interested in a good read. The author takes you on detailed narrative of the risks and rewards, the emotional joys and disappointments of an exhausting journey that leaves no emotion untouched.
