I have seen a lot of discussion about God's will, and how it plays into adoption.
I just finished reading a really terrific book. It is a book that I would recommend to just about anyone, but as I was finishing it up it struck me as to just how affirming it could be for anyone whose life has been touched by adoption. The title is "GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD a fresh look at the life of JOSEPH" by R.T. Kendall.
from the foreword:
"Have you ever wondered why a sovereign, all powerful, loving God would allow His own precious children to suffer injustice, humilition, and persecution? Have you ever gone through a trial and felt like the Lord was miles away and the heavens were brass? Do you feel like you fail many of the tests which God allows to come your way?
Dr. Kendall gives the best answers to these difficult questions that I have ever heard. His solutions are not always easy, but they are given with such powerful conviction that they may forever change your life....

Whether you are an adoptee that wonders why you were placed, a birth parent that was bullied into placing by parents or society, or like me, an adoptive mom to special needs children that found it hard to understand how our loving Father allowed the birth mothers of my children to drink, do drugs, neglect and abuse the babies He had gifted them with, this book will give you a deeper sense of understanding, acceptance and even gratitude.
