Helen and Carl Doss just wanted a small family. When they found they couldn't have children, they decided to adopt. After adopting a little boy, they decided to try for a girl only to find that adoption practices, at the time, limited them to white children only and they didn't care whether their children were white. By the time they finally they had 12 children from a variety of back grounds and the family that nobody wanted. Written in the 1950s, this book is dated in some ways but still interesting.
