Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Nearly six in ten Americans have a significant personal connection with adoption, yet little has been written about the subject from a biblical perspective. Adoption usually includes a tumultuous mix of sorrow and joy, loss and redemption, fear and fulfillment. Though often heart-wrenching, it offers a rich opportunity to draw nearer to God. Adoption can also be a precious part of a pilgrimage toward God. This book is a companion to come alongside those involved with adoption and the blessings found throughout the twists and turns of the journey.

About the Author

Kristin Swick Wong is the mother of two daughters by birth and two sons by adoption. A graduate of the University of Michigan she and her family live in Ann Arbor, MI where she is homeschooling their children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Draw Close to God in Your Adoptive Journey, November 4, 2006

By	A. Finnamore (Tianjin, China) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can not recommend this book highly enough for Christian adoptive parents. The author describes her journey, and that of her family, through the adoption of two Vietnamese boys. She details God's development of her character through the waiting and uncertainties of the process, and shares about what she learned about such topics as prayer, fear, waiting, God's goodness, pain, and worship. Mrs. Wong's story has been a chief means of encouragment and exhortation for my husband and I as we have felt the refining fire in our own hearts during our own adoptive journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars good resource for adopting families or those who've been adopted, August 30, 2005

By	L. Liou - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has applications for any Christian in understanding his/her own adoption as God's child. I plan to recommend this book to my friends, especially those that are adopting children into their family or who have been adopted into a family themselves. My favorite aspect of the book is the author's honesty about her own faith struggles in waiting on the Lord throughout the adoption process.

5.0 out of 5 stars getting to the heart of adoption, August 29, 2005

By	Sherman Allen "edncarol" (SE Asia) - See all my reviews

This book gets to the heart of the issue of adoption and, at the same time, tugs on your heart. The author uses her family's narratives to bring human reality to the adoption process. She does a great job of shining light on the process of adopting from Asia and on the struggles of the heart.

Not all families will enjoy the loving support that the author's family had, but this book will help all who are involved with adoption--the adopting family, the extended family, those close friends and others around them, and even those involved in the administration of adoptions. It will help them to process emotions felt, by them or by those around them.

But, most importantly, this book brings God in to the picture. The truths learned in His Word about His love for those He has created, including the fatherless, bring the reader closer to HIS heart! The author opens up her heart to the reader, revealing how God walked along side of her and her family during the two adoptions.

Carried Softly Home is the story of the Wongs, but it's a story that is shared by many. In this book, many will find that God's love is a source of joy and comfort during the precious process of adoption.
