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.
