Faith Hope Connection A 30Day Devotional for Adoptive and Foster Parents edition by Melissa Corkum Lisa Qualls Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

• I loved the book. I felt understood, empowered, guided, and encouraged. With 30 different authors who are foster parents and adoptive parents and 30 different topics, it touched on so many experiences I've had and felt, or had with my children. It helped me refocus on what was important and gave me a newer vision and perspective. There was no judgement, only compassion and understanding. It felt to me like I was talking to friends, and I was sorry to see the book end. I will read this devotional again, and I'm certain I will gain some new insights when I read it again.
• Beautifully written, speaks the truth about the difficulties of fostering or adoption, but then lavishly describes God’s love for us throughout the difficult times. A must read for foster and adoptive families.
• I loved this devotional. The book shows compassion and offers encouragement to parents of adopted & foster children.
• This is a valuable resource for foster & adoptive parents written by foster & adoptive parents. Each devotional is by a different writer, so I appreciate the different voices and perspectives offering truth and encouraging for the real days of parenting, regardless of how God put together families. I recently used this devotional at a moms' retreat and many found encouragement in the stories shared. It was also a good segue into how our little stories are part of God's greatest story.
• When I first began the book, I thought, "I am not alone!! I'm not the only one who struggles! I am not the only one who determines that this will be the morning I am that awesome mama, only to feel like a failure within the first 15 minutes of waking my crew for the morning!" As I continued, my next thought became, "Oh no!!! Is our family ever going to get better? Will we be happy again? Will we ever discover our new normal and be ok with it? Will we survive the battle?" By the end, I was encouraged. I understand the battle may be long and may not end this side of Heaven. I believe we can, as a family, find peace in our new normal. I also find great comfort in knowing this is a spiritual battle and God is leading it. He loves my kids more than my husband or I ever could.... He sees and knows all of our individual hurts and fears and He is at work in the healing process. I just have to cling to Him every day and in every way. So thankful for the opportunity to here how God has worked in other foster/adoptive families. Thank you to those who shared!!
• I LOVED this book. I'm a foster/adoptive, home-school parent with very little time for self-care. I participated in a 30-day group where we read and shared our journey through Faith, Hope, & Connection. To be honest, I wasn't able to get to it each day but I didn't give up. Every single entry seemed to speak directly into my heart. I am so grateful to have discovered this helpful resource.
