Twice Blessed

A Story of Unconditional Love

A deeply moving memoir of love, resilience, and identity, chronicling one family's journey through adoption, caregiving, and the profound connections that define us

Twice Blessed is a beautifully written memoir that explores the depths of love, resilience, and the true meaning of family. Stefanie Mercado Altman, Claire Altman, and Stan Altman share an intimate and inspiring story about the bonds that define us, from adoption to caregiving and beyond. When Stefanie was adopted by Claire and Stan, their family was built on love and trust rather than biology. As they navigated the joys and struggles of parenting, they faced challenges that tested their resilience, including Stefanie’s search for identity and connection with her birth mother, Rosa, a gifted artist whose struggles with AIDS cast a long shadow.

From the highs of new beginnings to the heartbreak of loss, Twice Blessed captures the complexities of relationships and the sacrifices made in the name of love. The story unfolds with warmth, humor, and honesty, offering a powerful perspective on what it means to belong. Through Stefanie’s journey of self-discovery and the family’s steadfast devotion, the book paints a vivid portrait of compassion and perseverance.

Engaging and deeply moving, Twice Blessed speaks to anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world or searched for a deeper understanding of family. This book will resonate with fans of personal memoirs, adoption narratives, and heartfelt stories about love that transcends boundaries.
