Carried Safely Home

Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for. . . A break from the weighty posts and a recommendation for my all time favorite adoption book. If you don't know me well, I will say that I'm kind of a nut when it comes to books and researching everything thoroughly. Without exaggeration, I would say that I own at least a dozen books on adoption. If you've been following my blog for awhile, you will already know which adoption book outshines all the others (in my opinion.) I have quoted from it in these posts:

Lessons Learned: Standing and Waiting

Psalm 139

I highly recommend this book by Kristin Swick Wong Carried Safely Home: The spiritual legacy of an adoptive family. It is full of Godly insights and saturated with Scripture, and at the same time Kristin is open and honest with her struggles. She does an excellent job describing the pain of being separated from the child that you are waiting to adopt and follows that with the lessons she learned during her adoption processes. I would recommend the book not only to families currently in the process of adopting, but also to anyone who would like to understand more of what a family experiences emotionally while they are waiting to bring their child home.
