While We Wait by Heidi Schlumpf Pdf
Adoption is a beautiful event, and building a family through adoption is a loving and selfless act. But the decision to adopt and the many stages that follow are often pock-marked with tears, distress, anger, and disappointment. While We Wait, written by a mother who struggled through the process herself, is a hope-filled collection of reflections on the everyday, practical aspects of adoption but also offers a spiritual grounding for frustrated and stressed-out prospective parents. Topics addressed include: Adopting after Infertility; The Unknown "Due date"; The paperchase; Rude strangers; Extended family; Living in the present--publisher.
