Our copy of this perfectly perfect adoption book finally arrived. It is a MUST have for anyone with a heart for adoption. Tymm and Laura shared this book with us, and we ordered it immediately. The story did not disappoint. This author "gets" adoption. She gets the waiting, the yearning, and the holding of a child in your heart who might yet have a face. She gets the questions an adopted child will likely have and she gets the heart of the adoptive mother.
This is the story of Mama Fox telling Baby Fox about their family's adoption story. Thank you, Lisa Tawn Bergren, for this gift to the adoption community.
(Mama Fox) "I dreamed of how you would look, smell even what you would sound like. And every day I thought how wonderful it would be to hold you in my arms."
(Mama Fox) "I started seeing you everywhere. In the leaves of the giant oak and in the bark of the pine. Even in the stars! Oh, how I long for the day that you would arrive, when God would find us YOU. "
(Baby Fox) "And then I came?"
(Mama Fox) "Oh, no. No matter how much I prayed it would happen. I still had to wait."
(Baby Fox) "You waited and waited and waited?"
(Mama Fox) "And waited. But I knew someday you'd arrive, when God found us YOU."
