At 23 weeks pregnant, it seems odd, but I spent most of tonight researching adoption. I feel so unbelievably blessed that our first baby is sleeping upstairs and our next baby is kicking me from within the womb; I love them. I love all of our children; whether already in our home or with us, in heaven to meet in eternity or those that I pray become part of our family in God’s timing by His provision.
I found some recommended readings on adoption and wanted to compile them here for future reference (I have not read any of the books on this list so I cannot give any personal recommendations). These include fiction, non-fiction, young adult and children’s titles.
