Hope, inspiration, encouragement, endurance, patience, reassurance. These are some of what we need as hopeful adoptive parents trying to build our family through adoption. The journey can be overwhelming. It can (and usually does) test our faith and hope as we try to become parents. The journey does not end once you’ve adopted – it has only begun. On this episode, we talk with two amazing women – Rachel and Madeleine. They are both talented writers, authors, and adoptive moms. Now, they’ve teamed up to write a book that is MUCH NEEDED for all adoptive families. The book is called Encouragement for the Adoption & Parenting Journey – 52 Devotions and a Journal. I’ve been able to review this book and I can tell you I LOVE it! Here’s just a few reasons why I think it is a must-have for anyone considering adoption, already on the journey to adopt, or has started parenting. 1. This book is full of 52 short devotionals that will carry you through an entire year of your journey. The best part is that the messages and verses in the book are timeless – so you can go through it again and again. 2. Rachel and Madeleine did an incredible job sharing their heart, their faith, their troubles, their triumphs, and so much more. They will grab your heart, make you laugh and cry as you go through each devotion. What you will learn about in this episode: * Why Madeleine and Rachel decided to write the book – and why they wanted to write it together. * Find out what is in the book and why it is something you need on the adoption journey. * How the book can help families – no matter how they are touched by adoption. * Find out how many different ways you can use this book. * Find out how to become a part of their Facebook page where you can share your thoughts and get support. * AND MUCH MORE!
