Hilsabeck’s collection of stories drawn from real lifelooks at adoption through a Christian lens.
The author opens her book about babies, children, and adoption with her own story, in which she becomes unexpectedly pregnant at age 15 in 1960s rural Nebraska. Though her family was loving and accepting, she experienced some social rejection.
Her consolation was her Christian faith: “I feel that I must tell my story,” she writes, “in order to help you
understand why I truly believe that God controls even the time that fertilization of an egg occurs.” Her daughter becomes a source of joy for her whole family—Hilsabeck notes, “My little girl is now the mother four children, whom I would never have known had someone told me they could solve my problem with an abortion.”
These realizations set up the rest of the book, in which she relates the adoption stories of dozens of people (along with some accounts of childbirth), chosen to illustrate the various ways that “love is found in foster, adoptive, and guardian homes the same as it is in homes where children are born to the parents.”
The author’s depictions of people taking in adoptive or foster children in often desperate or last-minute situations are rendered with touching concision. Prospective parents of Christian faith considering adoption—or those facing its realities unexpectedly—will find tremendous encouragement in these pages.
A compassionate Christian affirmation of the wonders of adoption.
Loved it! It was a huge hit at our Pink Out celebration!
I’ve searched for a long time to find a Belgian waffle mix that delivers that distinct restaurant-quality crispness, and Heartland Gourmet Belgian Waffle Mix finally checks all the boxes. The waffles come out golden with that perfect crisp on the edges while staying soft and fluffy inside. It is the closest I have come to recreating that classic Belgian waffle taste and texture at home, and it is absolutely worth it.

My husband and I gave the Nebraska the Good Life road sign to our older son as a birthday gift. He lives in Idaho but is strongly tied to Nebraska. He loved the gift.
My wife and I have enjoyed this seasoning on several meats so far. It always makes the meat taste so good.
