Picked Placed & Chosen: A Story of Adoption

By Debra J. Garner and Debra J. Garner

Picked Placed & Chosen is Debra Garner's autobiographical poem about discovering the love surrounding her from birth to being a grandmother.

Debra shares her intimate story of learning to understand the love her birth mother had to give her up for adoption. She describes her adoptive family's love and the gift of being reunited with her birth siblings and the siblings she gained through adoption.

One of her poems describes her conflicting emotions of meeting her birth parents shortly before their deaths.

It is clear Debra's life is made strong through her relationship with Jesus. She describes how her experience in first being given up for adoption and then being adopted has impacted everything she does.

Journaling pages at the end of the book prompt the reader to discover their life story with encouraging words from the author.

Gorgeous illustrations by Tori Meyer increase the power of Debra's evocative poetry.

Picked Placed & Chosen is for anyone who has been adopted, given up for adoption or is an adoptive parent.
