Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish- A Daily Devotional for Adoptive and Birth Parents






I love my devotionals. I have 3, at this moment. I vary as to which one I will read and when. I was so excited to fin out that they have one just for me! Well, all adoptive and birth parents.

Sherrie Eldridge, the author, is and internationally recognized adoption speaker. She has authored more than 5 books about adoption. Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parent Knew. She was adopted herself and understands that perspective. 1 of her grandchildren joined their family through adoption.

We got our little girl when she was 3 weeks old. However, her adoption was not finalized till she was 2. She is still young and it makes me very nervous for the day that we have to tell her the story of her beginning. We knew her biological mom, so lots of the not knowing, does not count for her. But, we did not know the biological dad. It is definitely a different thing for our family. She has never not been a part of it though. We have such a strange story.

If you are looking for a good devotional to help you with all those times. Sherrie as made a devotional of tools to encourage us on our journey.

Do you have feelings of fear? Does your child? Do they have anger issues? Self esteem issues? This book is here to walk beside you and help you to be prepared in all these times in your child's life.

Just to give you a piece of what the book has in store.

Today is November 29th and the devotional for today is:

"And you are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus". (Romans 3:24)

Help grow your child's faith by looking at the events of Moses's life.

Strange, alive, powerful (at the burning bush)
Punishes (when he killed Pharoah and ran to the back side of the desert)
Brings trouble on his people and doesn't rescue them (Israelites in slavery)
Personal (He has become my salvation)
Spiritual father (Israel is my firstborn son)
Creator of his body ("who made your mouth?" when he used stuttering for an excuse not to speak for God)

Which of these does your child identify with? This can be your platform for prayer.

365 devotionals.

This book would make such a great gift for the family getting ready to adopt.

Untimed- Orangeberry Book Tour Review

Image
Untimed is an action-packed time travel novel by Andy Gavin, author of The Darkening Dream and creator of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter. Charlie’s the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell, his own mother can’t remember his name. So when a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don’t take him seriously.

Still, even if they screw up history — like accidentally let the founding father be killed — they can just time travel and fix it, right? But the future they return to is nothing like Charlie remembers. To set th...
