Adopted for Daily Life: A Devotional for Adopting Moms

by Wendy Willard

The first six months of any adoption are the most critical, as families transition to a new normal. Fear, worry, and disappointment are all common during that time. But—if we remain focused on God’s purpose and promise—hope, faith, comfort, and peace can be just as common. This devotional brings encouraging support for that pivotal season of bonding and transition. Each week, moms who’ve been there offer insight on life topics as they relate to adoption, in the form of five daily selections. The five-minute readings are rooted in scripture, to ensure you stay grounded safely in God’s Word throughout the adoption journey. The contributing moms represent families grown through both domestic and foreign adoptions from all over the world, including China, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Poland, Korea, and Ethiopia.
