NOT worth the money (michellecomtois)
I think this product is a great idea, but $45 was absolutely ridiculous for the tiny book that came in the mail. I was hoping for A LOT more -- there wasn't even much in terms of "comfort" statements that are mentioned. I wanted some "mommy" things to say in spanish that I wouldn't find in the typical "Learn Spanish" books. I was very disappointed. Roberta's Response: Just to clarify, "Adopting from Latin America" comes with a CD so you can hear and practice words and phrases with the correct pronunciation as well as the accompanying booklet.
