Rainbows from Heaven

By Lynn Ellen Doxon

Book Overview

Families are made in Heaven.

That was never so apparent as it was for Lynn Ellen Doxon and Robert Habiger in the creation of their family through the adoption of three girls from the Ukraine. Lynn and Robert's journey takes them halfway around the world and lasts for two and a half years. In that time they learn lessons of perseverance, faith, love, hope and surrender to God's will. The laws and economy of Ukraine are unstable, the officials fearful and suspicious and the circumstances wearisome. At times is seems like the whole world is attempting to block the adoption.

Lynn shares the humor, the joy, the fear and the anger she experiences in the process of adopting her daughters. She opens herself up, showing that while she and Robert did not do everything right, continued trust in each other, prayer and belief in their love for the girls would see Lynn's dream of a family come true.

Adoption Primer

We also adopted a child from a former state of the Soviet Union and Ms. Doxon's story brought back many memories of that experience. We thought what we went through was grueling and trying, but their experience was far worse. We have given this book to friends who are trying to adopt currently from Ukraine. We want them to go in armed with the knowledge, insight, and courage that was so accurately portrayed in Rainbows From Heaven. This is a must read for anyone who is thinking about adopting from overseas. This book shows that with God & the desire to adopt that all things are possible.

Rainbows From Heaven is a must read book!

This true story of a family's struggle to adopt three girls from the Ukraine was capitivating from page one! I laughed, I cried and I prayed for this family thoughout this book. What an inspiring story of faith, love, and determination. Truly, one of the best books I've read in a long time!

Inspiring

I felt inspired by the perseverence of the author. I enjoyed reading the perspective of the young children. I was moved by their journey as orphans prior to their adoption by their American parents.

Miracle

Lynn Ellen Doxon's book about the adoption of three girls from the Ukraine is truly a story about faith, courage and persistence in the face of difficulty. Lynn Ellen and her husband, Robert, are proof that with God's help, the impossible can be accomplished. This is a fine piece of writing, and will fill the reader with hope and joy.

Faith Journey

This story is so much more than the perils of foreign adoption. It is a faith journey of two individuals and their uncondition devotion and love for three children they did not even know. A must read for any one looking for an example of true Christian faith.
