Waiting for Me: One Woman's Relentless Desire for a Child [Hardcover]

Jodie Peyton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 19, 2002

For all the months I had spent dreaming about the baby I would have, it was shattered in a brief moment.

Devastated and not ready to give up, this determination, and a power greater than mine, led me to a place I had never imagined.

With the help of God, it was there that I found her-- waiting for me.

It is my hope that others will be inspired to follow their dreams because the answers are out there just waiting for them.

From the Author

After telling my story to others, I was encouraged to write a book. I hope that Waiting for Me will give readers comfort and hope in their troubling times.

From the Inside Flap

After months trying to conceive a child, doctors told Jodie Peyton that her dream was not possible. With great persistence, she and her husband desperately searched for an answer.

Their journey took them over five thousand miles across the world to Russia where they discovered her dream through adoption.

Waiting for Me is a personal and honest account of the pain and emotional suffering that many couples face with infertility and the adoption process. It is a remarkable story of the presence of a higher power that will inspire readers to have faith, and follow their dreams no matter what they may be.
