Adopted for Life

The book Adopted for Life was one of those I don't want to read but know I need to read books. I first read it about two years ago and recently reread it. Russell Moore gives awesome "from the trenches" wisdom on many aspects of adoption.
I highly encouraged you to read this book and learn more about the priority of adoption for Christian families and churches!

    Hi Kendall, I know Cayce and was excited to read on her blog of you and your family's decision to adopt! What a blessing and what an excited journey. We also used Bethany for both of our adoptions and in each process we saw God move in ways that only He can do!! I will be praying for you as you begin and look forward to keeping up with your process
