One for the bookshelf

Last Sunday at church one of my friends stopped me.  "I have something for you" she said and then handed me a book.  I immediately recognized it from the cover and started tearing up.  This woman was one of the very first people to introduce herself to me at church.  To break the ice she had asked about adoption (we were featured in a get-to-know-you section of the weekly printed program, and had mentioned our hope to adopt) and since that day we've been friends.

Since Sunday I've read the book at least a half-dozen more times.  Still makes me cry.  I can't wait until we have little ones to read it to.


If you or someone in your life has adopted children...they should have this book.  You can find it here.
