This book truly provides encouragement to those who find their lives touched by adoption or who are deciding whether to take that step in their lives. The only flaw, from my perspective, would be that the stories heavily focused on adoptions through a lawyer and not through an agency. That said, I appreciated that the stories were varied in their perspective - some were from the adoptive family, the birth family, the social worker, adoptee. In addition, there were a variety of different reasons and situations for seeking adoption. Finally the stories involved adoptions that were domestic and international, as well as of varying ages. The biggest blessing was, however, the encouragement it gave. There are not many people who can truly understand the feelings adoption brings out except for those who have experienced it. That being said, those who have experienced it are able to encourage others in their waiting on God like no one else can. If you need encouragement in the waiting, help in discerning whether adoption is for you, or just want to understand the emotions of this amazing process, this book is for you.

Beautiful stories about God's hand in adoptions!! Very encouraging to read while you're in the adoption process. :)

There are twelve stories within these 156 pages, each one telling about the miracle of adoption. It's Kingsbury at her best, especially when she tells her own true story of how she and her husband, with a family of three, came to adopt their three sons from Haiti. This book would make an excellent gift for any family opening up their home to an adoptee. Get out the tissues; this one's a tearjerker.

If you need a pick me up, if you need encouragement, if you need to laugh, if you need to cry, if you need affirmation that you are doing or did the right thing by adopting - this book is for you! Absolutely inspirational - a must for that long road to adopting!

This is a wonderful book on adoption. My husband was adopted so we are partial to other's stories of how they came to be adopted. I really was pleased to see how many were centered on prayer and leaving the childless situation up to God. Loved the book.

This is a short book that talks about 10 families that share their experiences in adopting a child or children. Excelent book about POSITIVES if adoption.

This is one of the most moving books written. I have a sister and brother who both adopted and the stories in this book will make you cry. Plus, I have a brother who was foster, we never adopted him, but we had him his whole life until he was killed just a few years ago. This book should be read by everyone, no matter what age. We should all open our hearts as these people have.

As the grandparent of an adopted child, I highly recommend this book. Kingsbury relates twelve moving stories about families who have gone through the adoption process (including her own), and does so with her usual charm and depth. Some stories will make you laugh, some will bring you to tears. If you are adopted or plan to adopt, this book will move you to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the miracle of adoption.

This book really helps a person have hope in the adoption process and having all the miraculous stories can really motivate you to build a closer relationship with GOD.

This book was very touching. I was adopted into a wonderful family 34 years ago and enjoy reading stories about other people's adoption journey.

I read this book in about two days. Karen did a beautiful job portraying the emotions of the people in this book. Well done!

I would recommend this book for anyone who is thinking of adoption in anyway. 5 Stars!
