A Place I Didn't Belong, Paperback

A Place I Didn t Belong validates the sometimes devastating experiences of adoptive parenthood while offering hope, practical coping strategies, and spiritual renewal for the journey ahead. The trajectory of unmet expectations, our children s compromised beginnings, and the wounds we carry into our adoptions conspire to take us to a place we didn t belong. Insights on emotional healing help us reclaim hope for our adoption journey. This is not a how-to or a ten-easy-steps-to successful parenting program. It s about real life, real women, and real struggles. It s about relationships and community. It s about reclaiming ourselves as women when adoption dreams shatter. It s about a journey that begins in our mother s heart, and delivers us to the place we do belong- into our Father s arms."
