Synopsis

When you decide to adopt, it's not if. It's when. You will need to figure out who your child is, what country you will adopt through, and how to share with your friends and family about your child-to-be. With candor, humor, and grace, Jacqui Jackson steps in as your Big Sister, helping you create a support team to walk with you through the parenting and adoption process. She provides practical tips for how to handle “The Wait.” Prayer is key. Jacqui, along with her husband Jeff, provide prayers and Scripture in this Christian prayer devotional for your child-to-be, a Dad’s perspective on adoption, along with strategic steps that will gently coach you closer to God. This parenting guide meshes personal anecdotes with Scriptural truths in an effort to resource anyone called into this adventure. One thing is for sure: If you have considered adoption and/or adoption and fostering, but you desperately want someone who has walked this road ahead of you to hold your hand through the process, then this is the adoption book for you. You don’t have to know all the answers; you just have to believe God’s Got This. He truly does.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Jacqui Jackson is a former foster kid, an international adoptee from South America, and a grateful mommy to a tribe of heart babies and belly babies alike. Her passion for adoption and fostering stems from the legacy that God has given her to steward for His glory, and she is relentless about encouraging and equipping others to walk their own orphan care journeys. Her initial steps towards protecting vulnerable children began in college when she chose to champion at-risk kids as her platform issue while competing in the Miss America Organization. Jacqui used the scholarships earned during those years to attain a Masters in Education and to solidify her dedication to the cause of the Modern Orphan. Now a homeschooling momma, Jacqui has professional experience as a personal representative liaison for the Atlanta Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a grant writer for the Georgia Family Council, and a teacher who worked with students ranging from the pre-k to the college level. After becoming a first-time mommy through the gift of adoption, Jacqui knew she had found her heart’s desire, which was to be a mother to many along with being an orphan advocate. When she isn’t writing or promoting iHope, Jacqui spends her days chasing after the littles, Pinteresting fabulous domestic diva ideas to “try one day,” training for half marathons, and blogging about mommyhood at www.thegratefulmommy.com. She loves date nights with the Hubs because she can wear her seldom-used stilettos, the random game of sub-par tennis, and walking solo through the garden center at the Home Depot. When life has hit a new level of hot mess, you can find her doing “rapture practice” with her kids in the backyard or reaching for her hidden stash of Starburst jelly beans. Her favorite guilty pleasure is donning her amazing white jazz shoes and dancing alone in her living room with the stars on “So You Think You Can Dance.”
