Kirabo: A Journey of Faith, Love & Adoption
When Tandela travels to Uganda after university, she has no idea what kind of adventure lies ahead. While spending long days at an orphanage, her heart breaks for the sickest baby of them all. In what she describes as a "silent stirring in my soul," Tandela experiences the unmistakable call of God to pursue adoption of this baby boy - one who has been abandoned at birth and given only one month to live. She is told that her hope to adopt Mark will most likely be futile, if he even survives. Spurred on by a deep parental love that can only be described as God-given, Tandela nonetheless courageously embarks on what becomes a nerve-racking quest that will serve to test her faith like never before. In the beautiful country of Uganda, whose northern region is being ravaged by war, Tandela faces one obstacle after another on this journey fraught with loneliness, doubts, and fears, but pierced with moments of pure joy.

An amazing and compelling story about an unlikely adoption and the providence of God. An amazing story that is beautifully told in a way that balances the emotion, the legal challenges of adoption and a solid Faith in Christ.
Highly recommend.

An amazing story of a young woman’s journey to Uganda to find her calling. What she finds is how, through good times and bad, God is there for her. And while she went to Uganda to find herself, what she truly found was a life she was called to care for. Her son. An amazing read that is hard to put down.
