Book excerpt: "My mommy didn't carry me in her tummy, she carried me in her heart." Bailey, a 5-years old who was adopted from China. Her story is included in this book. According to People magazine, parents from all over the country seek adoption expert and Worldwide Orphans Foundation founder Dr. Jane Aronson’s help “as if consulting a master detective.” Angelina Jolie praised Dr. Aronson’s “drive and ambition to help children dream” (Elle). Indeed, over the course of the past three decades, Dr. Aronson has touched the lives of thousands of adopted children from around the world and in this inspiring book she presents moving first-person testimonies from parents (and a few children themselves) whose lives have been blessed by adoption. Divided into thematic sections—such as "The Decision," "The Journey," and "The Moment We Met")—each prefaced by Dr. Aronson, this book introduces readers to Claude Knobler, a writer from Los Angeles whose journey to Ethiopia to adopt his son led to an unexpectedly moving encounter with the boy’s courageous birthmother; actor Mary Louise-Parker whose older adopted son’s bond with her newly adopted baby daughter was deep and unwavering from the instant the two children met; and Lynn Danzker, an entrepreneur who set off alone to adopt her son, Cole, and in the process, met and married her husband. The authors of these testimonies range from doctors to filmmakers, from financial consultants to celebrities—all of them bound by their moving and transformative experience as adoptive parents.
Download or read book You Grew in My Heart Instead written by Kelli Babbitt and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to show kids both biological and adopted that we all have things about us that are both similar and different regardless of our blood ties to our families. We wanted our daughter who is adopted to know that it is perfectly okay for her not to look exactly like us. It is okay if her skin tone is a little darker than ours. This does not make her strange or different than other children; it just makes her a unique person who has her own looks and personality. Even though she didnt grow in my womb, I could not love her any more if she did. It shows that adopted children grow in their adoptive parents hearts instead of their wombs. Unlike a biological child, many times the adopted child has been growing in their parents hearts for many years before they actually became a family, because of the longing for a child that often accompanies adoption.

Book excerpt: David is a curious two-year-old who loves to laugh and hide from his mother in the garden. When his pregnant older cousin visits one day, David asks his mother if her tummy was that big when she grew him. David’s mother tells him that she didn’t grow him in her tummy; she and his dad adopted him, and she grew him in her heart. As the years go by, David’s family adopts a cat and a bird, and he understands that this means they will take very good care of them forever. As David gets older, he has more questions about being adopted, and his conversations with his mother become more complex—and sometimes harder. I Grew You in My Heart is a warm account of parental love based on real conversations between the author and her son about what it means to be adopted. It provides a simple and reassuring starting point for conversations with children about adoption and will be a valuable addition to the libraries of many families, both with adopted children and without.

Trapped by fear and insecurity, and feeling totally alone, Jennifer cried out to God: What am I doing wrong? Why is this happening to us? It was as if a veil had descended between her and her husband, and between her and God—one that kept her from experiencing the fullness of love.

How did God miraculously step in during the darkest hour to rescue and redeem them, tearing down the veil once and for all? The Unveiled Wife is a real-life love story; one couple’s refreshingly raw, transparent journey touching the deep places in a marriage that only God can reach. If you are feeling disappointment or even despair about your marriage, the heart-cry of this book is: You are not alone.
