Reader Reviews

  • Finding Vincent is one of the most inspiring books I have read. I could tell a lot of research and work was put into writing this. This story is well-written and emotionally powerful. Once I began reading it, I could not put it down. I highly recommend Finding Vincent to readers of all ages because its message is both meaningful and uplifting. A MUST READ!

  • The book does an excellent job of capturing the complexity of emotions that come with such a discovery—curiosity, excitement, fear, and even grief for lost time. It doesn’t romanticize the process, but instead presents it with honesty and authenticity. The storytelling feels intimate and genuine, allowing readers to truly connect with his journey.

  • Finding Vincent is a very moving story that illustrates how motivation, persistence, and patience can lead to meaningful discoveries. Very satisfying to read and you feel part of this journey. I recommend it highly.

  • As someone who loved watching “Long Lost Family”, “Finding Your Roots”, and “Who Do You Think You Are”, I highly recommend this book. I appreciate the author’s vulnerability in sharing his perspective on his adoption journey from childhood to the present day. His appreciation for his adoptive family was heartwarming, as well as his candid and honest experiences of being reunited with each long-lost family member. I could see God’s hand at work in taking one precious strand of life and weaving it into a beautiful tapestry. It is a reminder of how strong family ties are, and how deeply cherished our family history can become. I feel even more admiration for all the parents who chose to adopt!

  • I read Finding Vincent in a single sitting — it’s that compelling. The author’s journey is told with striking honesty and emotional depth, drawing the reader into each revelation with a storyteller’s instinct for timing and truth. It’s rare to find a memoir that balances vulnerability, courage, and investigative determination so seamlessly. The synchronicities and unfolding events feel almost unbelievable, yet profoundly human. This book is not only a powerful personal narrative but also an inspiring beacon for anyone seeking their own origins. A truly unforgettable read.
