I laugh as I write this, because when you read Finding Sarah Finding Me, you'll discover just how weak I was a times. But we serve an amazing God who holds us up when we are weak, and gives back to us the years the locusts devoured. Hugs for now.

Hope you get to read Finding Sarah Finding me at some point, Martha. It is a tumultuous journey for most of us, but as I'm sure you've discovered, those adoption journeys also have great joys. Like this little girl having a sweet grandma like you. Hugs.

I'm glad they have people like you in their life. I hope you also win this giveaway of Finding Sarah Finding Me, but if not, I hope you will still read it at some point. I'm sure we can understand a lot of what they other has experienced. Hugs for now.

As the great-grandmother of a beautiful adopted baby girl, I know the joy that comes from adopting a child but I also realize that adoptions haven't always been easy or beneficial to the the child. One of my closest friend's adopted daughter found her birth mother, and it turned out to be a very happy event for everyone concerned. Thanks for sharing your story. <br /><br />Our church has set aside a special fund to help couples who want to adopt to meet some of the expenses they face. It's a great ministry. Martha W.

I definitely want to read Finding Sarah, Finding Me. I have worked with foster and adopted parents. It's not easy for parents to give up their children. I'm thankful Jesus Christ has been there for you as He is the answer in all our difficult times. Great history lesson here.
