Rainbows from Heaven

By Lynn Ellen Doxon

Book Overview

We wanted children. In an Eastern European orphanage, three girls waited. A country in anarchy, a judge with political ambitions, an adoption agency with insight and determination, and an interpreter with incredible strength and perseverance vied to bring us together. Throughout the adoption process, we knew that these girls were ours. To them, we were Mama and Papa from the first moment they saw us. Yet the bureaucracy, the shifting leadership, and the tides of public opinion created incredible obstacles. What started in a church mission trip became an epic odyssey. Share the laughter, the tears, and the incredible dedication of friends old and new who saw us through the two-year process of becoming a family.

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.
