"The Strength of Mercy: Making a Difference in the World One Child at a Time" by Jan Beazely
This is a beautiful true story of the first adoption from Romania that started the agency: (the one we went with to adopt our twins) All God's Children International. It is so beautiful and is such a perfect example of an adoption journey where God was the author and brought them through incredible odds. I have bought and recommended this book to friends and relatives and all say they could not put it down. I read it in an afternoon. It is inspiring and amazing. "There is No Me Without You: One Women's Odyssey to Rescue her Country's Children" by Melissa Fay Greene
This book is so wonderful that it is hard to describe. The subject is the orphans in Ethiopia caused mostly by the AIDS epidemic. The author brilliantly goes from micro to macro describing the personal lives of peoples involved and then the societal causes and political debacles that cause and effect such anguish. She focuses on what one person can do when they choose a life of love and sacrifice, even if the person is not perfect, just doing what is in their power in love. The writing is top notch which is a huge plus. I gained a vaster perspective on the world and a greater education on the issues that face our world. Most of all it enlarged my heart for the orphan and the suffering ones.
