Summary, etc |
What happens when love is not enough? The answer lies in this true<br/>story of one family’s journey through the world of foster care and<br/>adoption within the United States. It is a personal account, encompassing<br/>both heartbreak and joy, while realistically embracing the intrinsic challenges<br/>of parenting the “hard to place” child.<br/>The long-term affects of neglect and abandonment, along with the<br/>issues of Reactive Attachment Disorder, sexual abuse, mental illness, and<br/>false allegations are discussed in the context of the family’s four biological,<br/>five adopted and nine foster children.<br/>From a prospective parent’s standpoint, this book dispels unrealistic and<br/>idealized expectations, yet from a Christian standpoint, it offers spiritual insight<br/>into understanding, acceptance and finally, forgiveness. Creatively written,<br/>this is a story that needs to be told, for although tragic in nature, it raises the<br/>awareness of the reader to the inherent risks and rewards of adoption. |
