Asia Renning was adopted by Jerry and Adair Renning when she was two years old, even though she was considered too institutionalized to be able to bond with a family. Asia's struggles with a condition which required a colostomy, as well as autism, has led her family on a quest to help her maximize her potential. In this book, Adair Renning details the family's search for effective treatments, including mega-vitamins, auditory integration therapy, food and environmental allergy treatments and treatment for Leaky Gut Syndrome. This is one family's story, but it represents a celebration of the strength of the human spirit, when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds.

Adoptive family's story-triumph over developm. difficulties,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Treasure Hunt (Paperback)
It's been a few years since I last read this wonderful book, but I still remember it as one which was very helpful to me after my overseas adoption of a handicapped child. At a time when many families would send the child back because of so many hard to handle disabilities, this family stuck it out and found the ultimate treasure. If your child struggles with developmental, physical, or eating disorders, this is a good book to read to help you realize there is hope in investing continuous love and hard work in your child. If you've adopted and been surprised by what you didn't realize you were getting, this book is a must have. Be prepared to cry and laugh.
