The Call to Adoption

Product Description

“In the spring of 2002, my husband Andrew and I boarded a plane to Moscow, and then an overnight train to the city of Voronezh in southern Russia. Two days later, a Russian judge declared that a child we had met only three weeks before was our daughter. We didn’t know much of her language. We knew even less about her past. We did know, however, that we loved her, and that this love made us one another’s. This book is the story of that journey, and a reflection on that love.”

Families don’t just “happen”; they come together through God’s plan—and ours—sometimes in unexpected ways. Called by God to adopt, and guided in the process by the Holy Spirit, Jaymie Stuart Wolfe takes us with her and her family on an extraordinary journey of faith and love.

This is a wonderful resource for parish parenting or adoption support groups. It is invaluable for anyone considering — or living through — the process of adoption.

Both a practical guide and a spiritual inspiration !
