He Knows Her Name: An Amazing Pursuit to Adopt From India

by Kelly McCorkle Parkison

"Our hearts must be open to the Lord, his mission, and what he might have us do. In He Knows Her Name, Kelly Parkison reminds us to never say never, and to trust the Lord's work in our hearts and minds."—Ed Stetzer, LifeWay Research

There are an estimated 20 million orphans in the country of India. Thanks to Kelly and Scott Parkison, that number has decreased by one.

Having promised to never return to India after her experience on the reality show The Amazing Race, Kelly never dreamed she would one day be a mother to a beautiful Indian girl named Lyla.

He Knows Her Name is the amazing and true story of how God uses the most unlikely circumstances for His greater purpose.

Calling the Parkisons' adoption story a rollercoaster ride of emotion would be an understatement.

After almost every major decision in the Parkisons' adoption process, God put a twist in their carefully laid plans only to lead them to greater opportunities. Faced with an overwhelming amount of fundraising, mountains of adoption paperwork, an unexpected pregnancy, a medical issue to patch with their new daughter, and the adjustment of bringing their child into a new culture, the Parkisons clung to God through their whirlwind adoption of Lyla.

Their heartwarming story is a beautiful testament to the gift of adoption on this earth and the love of God for all of us as His children.

Great if you’re an American, a lot of focus on the couples background, fundraising and upbringing and not much else.
