Infertility, Adoption and…Say, How’s the Weather? is the true story of Gracie Longshore, who experienced the heartbreak of infertility. Then she and her husband Kevin experienced the joy of adopting their son Dmitry from Russia. Gracie’s joy turned to anguish when Dmitry (whom she loved very much) became too violent to continue being able to live with her and Kevin. For several months, Gracie searched for, and found, another family to take care of Dmitry. Unfortunately, what happened with the Longshores is typical of parents who have adopted a child diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder. As Gracie tells you the story of her family, she weaves in the Christ-centered spiritual lessons she learned, along with her infertility poems and communion meditations she wrote. Come and take Gracie’s hand as she leads you through her journey of motherhood and being a “Them.” Gracie Longshore graduated from high school in 1977. Three years later, she received her associate of arts degree in writing. Gracie has worked in the healthcare industry for sixteen years and thoroughly enjoys helping doctors and nurses get the medical reports they need for the care of their patients. Her hobbies include counted cross-stitch needlework, and feeding and watching birds. She also likes to learn about other cultures, and history on a wide range of topics.

Educational, heartbreaking, yet empowering book.,

This review is from: Infertility, Adoption and...Say, How's the Weather? (Paperback)
Such a complex story...filled with both heartbreak and hope. I learned a great deal about RAD, foreign adoption, and Russia. Gracie was able to tell her story with detail and an open heart, along with a bit of humor, which made the book hard to put down. I hope there is a sequel down the road as Dmitry's life unfolds.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A powerful book well worth reading,
This review is from: Infertility, Adoption and...Say, How's the Weather? (Paperback)
Wow.... Gracie writes with such clear "voice." Her story has pierced my heart. I am physically tied up in knots seeing, hearing and just a little bit feeling what she and Kevin have experienced, and what must be going on in Dmitry's heart and soul. Gracie's book has helped me to experience God's love and understanding even more powerfully.
