Book excerpt: My Chance to Give When I thought about writing my story, I looked at it as "my chance to give back." The more I thought and wrote, I realized that everyone in this story could say it was My Chance to Give. The birth mother, the adopting parents, the doctor who delivered the baby, and the friends and family members of the adopting parents, all had My Chance to Give, and they did. Adoption (Gives) Abortion (Takes) I hope this title inspires more (Givers).
