There are over 130 million orphans worldwide. The pro-life/pro-choice debate continues to consume politics and everyday conversations. Readers want to know what they can do to make a difference on these issues. Wait No More tells Kelly and John Rosati's story of experiencing God more fully through the great blessings and challenges encountered during their journey to adopt four children from the U.S. foster care system. It is a story of God's faithfulness to grow a beautiful family, through adoption, from the ashes of child abuse, neglect, and abandonment. The Rosatis strongly believe that God's solution for orphaned children in the foster care system involves ordinary Christians desiring to live out an authentic pro-life commitment requiring action, not just words. Their story reveals how their beliefs challenged, enriched, and completely changed their family's life. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This book is a very realistic, personal look at adoption and challenges the reader to ask themselves, "Could I do that?" The writing style was very casual, sounding as if Kelly were having a conversation with the reader about her experiences. This is NOT a "how-to" book, more of a "why-to" book. Frankly, some of their experiences were rather harrowing, and could be enough to scare others away from the possibility of adoption through the foster care system. Obviously, I appreciate their honesty, and they expressed that it was all very much well worth it, but without having the benefit of actually knowing these kids, there were parts that left me thinking, "Why on earth would anyone want to go through that?" -- which I'm sure wasn't the intended outcome.
Overall, an interesting read, and could be very inspirational for those considering adopting children from difficult backgrounds. It's definitely an eye-opener, and I fully respect anyone that chooses this route for their family -- it was abundantly clear by this book that this is not an easy option. ( )
