Opis

Telling an adopted child that he or she is adopted can be difficult for a parent. The challenge lies in making the child feel special, the way we as Christians feel when we are adopted into the family of Christ, in the same way the vineyard grower grafts a new vine to another grape vine so that it becomes one with the vine-not just a part of, but one with its new host. Every child should feel that he or she was chosen just for that family. Jesus said, "From the womb I knew you." I wrote this story as a way to tell these children how God chose their family while they were yet in their birth mom's womb telling them that while in the womb their "real" adopted parents were waiting for them. The story and illustrations are intended to help the child visualize how all this came to be while prayerfully making it easier for the adopted mom to show that she was chosen for the child just as the child was chosen for her. To all those birth moms who selflessly make such a huge sacrifice by deciding to carry their babies and giving them up to adoption I say, 'Thank you' from the bottom of my heart. You have made me a very happy grandma. Bless you. I know my Lord blesses you as do all the adoptive parents whose "Hole in Their Heart" you have fixed. Again God Bless and Thank You.
