Qualls, and Jodi Jackson Tucker—an adoptee, birthmother, and adoptive mother—reveal that adoption is rooted both in loss and a redemptive victory.

“The vulnerability these authors share in their redemptive journeys is raw. Tears would trickle down my cheeks before I knew it was happening.
From wounded beginnings all the way through to scars that are healed, their stories inspire and give hope to all. Every experience is unique but I was able to connect, in some way, with each one. Betsy’s prayers are powerful and challenging. Lisa is so transparent about the birth mother experience. Jodi’s reflective manifesto to her children is masterful and I plan to incorporate it into my parenting. This book is for everyone in the world of adoption.”

“Once I picked up your book I couldn't put it down! I loved reading the stories of all three of you and reflecting on my own ongoing adoption journey.
So useful in my parenting! The prayers of all blessed me in ways that I realize will affect me for a long time. I love the invitation to go deeper and deeper and to start where you are. I loved the repeated sensitivity for all faiths and the invitation for true wholeness and healing. I felt like I was sitting around the table with all three of you. Your authentic and loving voices really came through."
