Put Me In The Story- Adoption Book Review
I can not even express in this review what a neat book this is....I cried through typing in all the information on their site.
The front of the book, in itself, is perfect!
My cover says " I Wished For You, Alivia" and adoption story
Underneath a picture of a Mommy bear and a little bear it says "Made Special For Alivia" " Made Special By Mom"
So super special and a book that she can have forever. The cover is made in hard back and the pages are regular heavy duty paper.
In our story, I couldn't have any more kids. I always dreamt of having 6 kids. I had to beg my husband to let me have #5 as I didn't not have good pregnancies. We had 4 miscarriages before we even had kids and then 4 more intermingled between the kids. My body hates pregnancy. Well, my husband gave into be have #5. It was the roughest pregnancy I had and he came a month early. He was perfect though. I don't think he got the preemie memo...But me on the other hand almost died having him. I spent the greater portion of his first couple months in the hospital and in lots of pain. They told my husband that I might not make it. I got fixed and was very depressed about it. I didn't feel whole....some of you might think that this is selfish. But as I grew up, it was just my sister and I. I always had wanted a big family. About 4 years after my son was born, I started praying that I would get pregnant. Yes, I was fixed. My husband kept telling me to quit praying for this because he didn't want to raise our kids alone. So for about a year I quit praying for that. Every time I saw a baby or a pregnant lady though my heart broke for that 6th child, I could never have. I felt maybe I was doomed to wait until my kids had kids. I was heartbroken.
I kept hearing people tell about their adoptions. So my prayers changed. I started praying that God would find us the perfect child for our family. My husband was ok with that prayer. As time went on, my prayers graduated. "Dear Father, please bring us a child, it doesn't have to be a baby but please help them be under 1"..."Dear Father, I'm not going to be picky as to the child you bring us, but please, if you can bring us a girl"..."Father, I have always loved red hair, whatever child you bring us, could they please have red hair"?
A little over 3 years ago we went back to our old church and got involved with the youth group. There was a pregnant girl in our group. We had talked about what she was going to do. (there were extenuating circumstances as to why were talking about these things) When she had her little girl, she would bring her to church and asked me to hold her. Oh, I was in love! There was something about this baby. I can't explain what it was. The girl in our youth group always handed her to me saying that "the way you look at her, I can tell you love her". When the baby was 3 weeks we started keeping her for days on end, that turned into weeks. I won't go into all the details but we ended up with custody till June of the next year. On May 24th, 2013 the Mom came to us and said she was pregnant again and that we had loved the baby and if we were interested in adopting her we could! I was so happy and felt my heart was complete! Our family would finally be done. On December 31st, 2014 she officially became Alivia Lucille Grayce Bass. My prayers we fully answered. It was a little girl, under 1 and with red hair. Her hair is not bright red but she is definitely auburn! God answered my prayers down to her hair color.
When I was sent the opportunity to review this book, I jumped on it!
The first real page, upon opening the book, says "My beautiful answer to prayer! You completed my heart and our family" This could not have been more perfect!
My husband doesn't cry for anything and reading this book, he cried. All through the book there are places that have personalization.
"Mama and Alivia Bear snuggled in their favorite cuddle spot. "Mama" said Alivia. "tell me again how I'm your wish come true".
I recommend this book to anyone who has adopted. This will be a treasured part of your childs life. A book that they can keep forever.
