A must-read for any Christian who doesn’t know where to start in their call to adoption and who wants to save money.
~ Doris Oriels, adoptive mother
 
It’s wonderful. I agree with everything in this book, it’s so true, so right. I hope that people will read this and understand the journey through adoption. There is a baby out there for parents who are waiting. It’s in His timing. It always turns out just right. God always knows.
~ Lonni Mayfield, adoptive mother of twins
 
Called to Adoption, being strongly biblical, emphasizes how God’s wisdom is wrapped around the heart and soul of the adoption process. I love the Adoption Wisdom sections and admonitions throughout the book; these verses capture the essence of God’s love for the birth families and adoptive families. It’s a wonderful book, full of biblical integrity, like a handbook and spiritual teaching guide for families hoping to adopt.
~ Judie Sobrero, MFT
 
A must-read for Christians everywhere! I like how the authors frame the book that it is for people feeling the Holy Spirit nudging them to learn more. The reality is that many of us feel so sorry for orphans and children that need homes, but we are ill-prepared or simply unable to provide for more than our own. We are challenged though to simply LEARN more about adoption, so that we can help others.
 
After reading this book, I feel completely equipped to help others who may have the physical means of adopting a child through prayer, through kindness, and simply through gaining some knowledge of what they must go through in order to embrace a child in their family.
 
I feel as though churches should feature this book, as it is truly an inspiration for us to rise up and ensure that all HIS children have loving parents. God bless!

adoption stepsAfter reading Called to Adoption, we can really appreciate the concrete instruction about adoption and the steps that hopeful adoptive parents need to take. I think the major lesson that we learned in our adoption was to do the work that was put in front of us and to leave our hands off everything else and let God do His part. We felt a real sense of peace throughout our adoption process, mainly, I believe, because we allowed God to facilitate our adoption.
~ Patrick and Tammy Terry, adoptive parents
 
While reading this book, I was reminded of how God had a perfect plan for our lives, and there is no doubt He had a strong hand in both of our adoptions. We knew that He was leading us to adopt, and we had to trust Him through many situations that were out of our control. As with anything in life, adoption is a journey that we have to depend on God to lead the way.
~ Lori McKenzie, adoptive mother of two and educator

~ Brandi Pierce, adoptive mother
