Once Scott Roos embraced his wife Nancy's vision to adopt an older child in need, the couple embarked on a roller coaster ride of international adoption. While the process was challenging and downright discouraging at times, they persevered with strength derived from heart-sourced guidance to overcome many obstacles, doubts, and fears. The joyous outcome, Katya, provided a gift of love and inspiration to their three biological children, extended family, friends, teachers, and strangers who Katya touched along her incredible journey.From a probable dead-end in a rural Russian orphanage, to a hopeful life in an American family, Katya's Comet exposes the emotions, people, places, cultures, and logistics that the couple encountered along the way. While Katya's Comet provides useful insights and references for international adoption, in a broader sense, it motivates you to seek a selfless vision with the promise of experiencing the ripples of joy that inevitably result when you drop your proverbial stone into the enormous pond of human need. Scott's firsthand experience uniquely qualifies him to share this touching story. His down-to-earth writing style and heartfelt open sharing is positively engaging.

This review is from: Katya's Comet: An Adoption Journey of the Heart (Paperback)
This was such a heartwarming story of how a little girl nearing a dead end in a Russian orphanage was adopted into a loving family. It does have the websites of some adoption agencies at the end of the book and advice on adoption, but if you're looking for a step by step of how to adopt this isn't the book. If, however, you're looking for an amazing and touching read you can't go wrong with this book.It shows that, although you can't change the world, you might be able to change the life of one (or possibly more) children.
