The stories can help make a long process seem more real and tangible, even attainable!Ībove all, Kingsbury’s idea in this book seems to be to bless and strengthen the hearts of those who feel called to show God’s love to the orphaned child. The book is presented as a collection of stories meant to motivate and encourage those who are considering an adoption or also, perhaps, family members (i.e., grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc) of those who are on this journey. What I did not know is that Kingsbury and her husband adopted three boys from Haiti back in 2001. You feel for the people you are reading about. In true Kingsbury fashion the book tugs on your emotions and plucks your heart strings. In this book she relates the stories of families adopting both domestically and internationally. However, being in the middle of our own adoption journey, I was curious to read this collection of stories put together by Kingsbury of other family’s ventures into the world of adoption. I have to say I’m not a big fan of Kingsbury’s fiction. I just finished reading A Treasury of Adoption Miracles by Karen Kingsbury.
