Excellent prayerful resource

The Call to Adoption by Jaymie Stuart Wolfe is an excellent, Christian resource for anyone who has adopted, is paperchasing their adoption or is beginning to think about building a family through adoption. In easy to read chapters, which can be read in or out of sequence, Wolfe describes her prayerful journey to adopt a daughter from Russia. Told with humor and compassion, this mother of 8 children candidly discusses dossier preparation, referral run-arounds, sibling rivalry and post-adoption adjustment. Wolfe ends each chapter with a prayer to help the reader focus on the role God plays in building families. When the adoption paperchase becomes cumbersome and the referral waits interminable, Wolfe helps the reader find strength through the Holy Spirit. If you are looking for a spiritual way to discern if adoption is right for you or if you are looking to enrich your adoption journey with prayer, this is the book for you. I highly recommend it!
