Book excerpt: "After two years of waiting to adopt--slogging through paperwork and bouncing between hope and despair--a miracle finally happened for Vanessa McGrady. Her sweet baby, Grace, was a dream come true. Then Vanessa made a highly uncommon gesture: when Grace's biological parents became homeless, Vanessa invited them to stay. Without a blueprint for navigating the practical basics of an open adoption or any discussion of expectations or boundaries, the unusual living arrangement became a bottomless well of conflicting emotions and increasingly difficult decisions complicated by missed opportunities, regret, social chaos, and broken hearts"--

It is a story of love, hope, sacrifice, endurance and an unwavering trust in the promises of God for her son’s life. This story will capture your heart and reveal the hand of God and His unconditional love. Twenty years ago the author was my special needs son’s teacher. Her love for children is amazing. She lives her everyday life for the glory of God. I highly recommend this book. Diane L. Mikell-Rasa, RN Former President, National Association for Healthcare Quality Former Director, Quality Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center The most striking aspect of Sandra’s story is that amazing people and opportunities seemed to step forth, right out of the ether, when she needs them the most. As the story progresses, don’t be surprised if you find yourself praying right along with Sandra as she becomes a mom, secures a more ideal job situation and buys her own home. God is simply amazing, and this hilarious, mournful and soul-stirring story is a testimony that will edify us all. Donna Mitchell, Journalist: New York City, New York. In our American society one barely hears about adoption with the exception of a celebrity and a child from a foreign land. As great as those occurrences are, the fact is that there are many within our neighborhoods that undergo the arduous process without all the fame and finances. Americans rarely know what actually happens to children in foster care and how many are not adopted. You hold in your hand a compelling true story on the struggles that exist within our foster care and adoption programs. Sandy McKoy reveals the complications that accompanied her pursuit of simply touching another life, and writes about the realities that will try to exhaust one from reaching the wonderful goal of adoption. As you read this book you will experience the suspense as she not only faces bureaucratic resistance but spiritual resistance also. This book will show you what faith is, why it is needed, but most of all how it is the only way to have victory. I believe that “God’s Diamond Among Rocks” has all the power and intensity to become a great movie someday. Open this book and enter a place not often visited. Rev Benjamin Valentin Staff Minister of Faith Fellowship Ministries Sayreville, New Jersey The Word of God tells us to tell the truth out of a loving place. So often as Christians – and as people – we sugarcoat the truth because we know it might challenge us and make us uncomfortable. Yet life goes on, with its daily lessons and unavoidable truths. I salute my dear friend and sister for sharing her powerful testimony and for reminding us that with GOD all things are possible. Let this memoir encourage you to know, you can choose to be content. The Joy of The Lord can be your strength. And those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Thank you, Sandra McKoy, for telling your story with unflinching honesty. Sandra shares her true, honest, tearful, joyful, triumphant truth of God’s love, patience, deliverance and endurance in her life and the life of her son. My former college friend: It is who she was and is. It is and was what she was raised to do. It is and was the way she lived. Their story affects everyone that has crossed their path and it will affect you, if you’ll simply let it. Marsha Evans Educational Tutor & Mentor Norlina, North Carolina

Book excerpt: Adopted at birth, Andrea Ross grew up inhabiting two ecosystems: one was her tangible, adoptive family, the other her birth family, whose mysterious landscape was hidden from her. In this coming-of-age memoir, Ross narrates how in her early twenties, while working as a ranger in Grand Canyon National Park, she embarked on a journey to discover where she came from and, ultimately, who she was. After many missteps and dead ends, Ross uncovered her heartbreaking and inspiring origin story and began navigating the complicated turns of reuniting with her birth parents and their new families. Through backcountry travel in the American West, she also came to understand her place in the world, realizing that her true identity lay not in a choice between adopted or biological parents, but in an expansion of the concept of family.

Download or read book Engineering in Rocks for Slopes Foundations and Tunnels written by T. Ramamurthy and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the ever-increasing developmental activities as diverse as the construction of dams, roads, tunnels, underground powerhouses and storage facilities, petroleum exploration and nuclear repositories, a more comprehensive and updated understanding of rock mass is essential for civil engineers, engineering geologists, geophysicists, and petroleum and mining engineers. Though some contents of this vast subject are included in undergraduate curriculum, there are full-fledged courses on Rock Mechanics/Rock Engineer-ing in postgraduate programmes in civil engineering and mining engineering. Much of the material presented in this book is also taught to geology and geophysics students. In addition, the book is suitable for short courses conducted for teachers, practising engineers and engineering geologists. This book, with contributions from a number of authors with expertise and vast experience in various areas of rock engineering, gives an in-depth analysis of the multidimensional aspects of the subject. The text covers a wide range of topics related to engineering behaviour of rocks and rock masses, their classifications, interpretation of geological mapping of joints through stereographic projection, in situ stress measurements, laboratory and field tests, stability of rock slopes, foundations of structures, including dams and support systems for underground excavations. The Second Edition has been enriched with new topics such as minimum overburden on pressure tunnels, pressure around vertical cylindrical shaft, thickness of steel lining, and penetration rate from joint factor. What distinguishes the text is the application of numerical methods to solve various problems by discrete element and equivalent material concepts, interpretations of geomechanics modelling test data, excavation methods, ground improving methods, and use of roadheaders and TBMs. The book provides an excellent understanding of how to solve problems in rock engineering and should immensely benefit students, teachers, professionals and designers alike.
