Adoption is a tangible way for families to live out their faith in God and fight social injustice. But is a heart to serve enough to help these families overcome the challenges they will face? After more than fourteen years of working in the orphan care and adoption advocacy world, author Karen Springs set out on a road trip across the US to explore what happens after adoptive families bring their children home and real life begins. Using her own experiences and those of the 63 adoptive families she interviewed, Karen unpacks the lessons we all can learn through the brokenness and beauty of adoption. In this poignant and touching book you’ll discover that your family is not alone in the challenges of the adoption journey, surprising treasures can be found in the harder aspects of adoptive parenting and gaining a rearview mirror perspective of the lesser discussed aspects of adoption can better prepare you for the road ahead. This is a road trip you won’t want to miss! Adoptive parents around the globe are saying this is a 'must read' for anyone on the adoption journey.
