As a recently adoptive parent and grandparent of two Romanian and one Bulgarian children, I have felt the anguish and despair that can overcome a person when he or she finds themselves in such an emotional battle as the one to save children from a life of pain and despair. Like the author and her family, we found hope in the Lord and in prayer, but even that at times seems not to be enough. This type of book is one that all people, believers and non-believers alike, should read again and again.

I enjoyed this book because it was a true story of a family who so much wanted to follow God's will and plan for their lives. I didn't want to put the book down! This book is similar to Experiencing God, a book also about knowing and doing the will of God. I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially those considering or in the process of international adoption.

Jan Beazely and her husband Ron share about the very personal aspects of how God used them and some of the personal cost of the Christian life. And the great rewards of Blessings from obeying God. So exciting! All through the book you can see how faith and obedience in God could change your life. I loved it!

I just finished the book and thought it was very inspirational. It was incredible to see what God did with an 18yr old girl with no education. This book shows that God's hand is never far from us and reminds us of His commitment to the orphan.

This was a truly amazing book that I think all Christian readers, as well as non-christians would love. I liked the honesty portrayed in Beazely's story of how their family started out with the adoption process; the difficulties and the blessings. Wonderful story!

This book was a great story of one mom's faith in a promise from the Lord, and how He used her grown daughter and political upheavel to bring His promise to fruition. It was interesting to hear about the adoption experience of another family adopting from a different country. We have adopted two children from China.

This was a truly rewarding read. The Beazely's story has encouraged me to look at my life deeper and listen to His calling. I have gone back to this book many times for encouragement on life's journeys. Wonderful for adoptees, adopters and those who just wondering what God is calling you to do!

if you've ever adopted a child (or tried to), this book will deeply touch you and inspire you.

I have never read such a bad book. This was such a self serving pat-myself on the back kind of book
