Publisher Description
Loved by Choice offers a clear and uplifting look at adoption from virtually every perspective. It is comprised of true stories that reflect the joys and the difficulties of those touched by adoption. Families working out an overseas adoption, those creating interracial families, grandparents, birth mothers, and even birth fathers are among the many who tell their stories.
Two appendices define adoption terms and outline resources that will be helpful to those exploring adoption. The emphasis of Loved by Choice, though, is to demonstrate how adoption can complete a family. It's a poignant celebration of adoption, led by those who understand it best.
This book's pro-life, positive, and upbeat message will be a welcomed source for women facing pregnancy choices, anyone working with unwed mothers, adoptees, adoption advocates, pro-life advocates, couples considering adoption, and anyone else interested in stories that celebrate adoption. It is an ideal book for bookstores and libraries to display in November, which is Adoption Awareness Month. Loved by Choice will also be popular at the many adoption-related conferences, book readings, and fairs that take place around the world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Many books have been written specifically for Christian parents, and many others have been written about adoption. An anthology that brings those genres together is Loved by Choice: True Stories That Celebrate Adoption, edited by Susan Horner and Kelly Fordyce Martindale. Many distinct voices are contained in these pages not only adoptive parents, but also men and women who reflect on their own experiences of having been adopted, and parents who made the choice to have their babies raised by others. The families introduced here include biracial, multinational and non-traditional families; one chapter shares the adoption stories of four special-needs children. The writing is not spectacular, but that's hardly the point. Christians who have considered adoption will be inspired by these courageous tales of faith.
