5.0 out of 5 stars Miracle Of Adoption, July 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: One Tiny Hope : A Journal To My Adopted Child (Hardcover)

Kari's story is a testament to the miracle of adoption. So many things have to happen in order to find that special child. And when it finally happens, through good and bad, adoption leaves you with no doubt that there is a God, and that he has a plan for you. After reading this book, I was reminded of the blessings of my own two adopted sons and our journey to find them. My heart was with Kari all the way, ever mindful of the yearning and feelings of desperation in the quest for a baby. I encourage all adopting parents to read One Tiny Hope: A Journal To My Adopted Child, and learn from it.
