More DescriptionHola: An Adoption Adventure is a chronicle of one woman' s adventures as she struggles with fear while trying to adopt her infant daughter in a politically stressed third world country. Ultimately, Shaina finds that blind courage and faith are her best tools for survival. Hola is replete with information about the adoption process and it' s possible pitfalls. It offers a picture of Honduras physically, culturally and politically. At the age of forty-two Shaina, a single, politically naive Jewish woman, decides she would like to raise a child. She begins her search for a healthy infant with a public adoption agency, is recommended to a private religious agency and eventually finds herself exploring "foreign" adoptions. Her quest leads her into Honduras and a Kafkaesque series of events guaranteed to keep the pages turning. Hola includes an illegal lawyer wanted by his government, a kidnapping attempt, a non-supportive adoption agency and a certain amount of the author's own paranoia. It's filled with action, adventure, suspense, some fantasy and comes complete with a happy ending. This is a true story.
