by Debbi Migit

What would you do if your life-long dream was finally so near you could almost touch it? Debbi Migit was familiar with miracles. At age seven God healed her of a potentially fatal disease and protected her life again and again. But her greatest challenge came following ten years of infertility, just when she and her husband were only months away from adopting a baby. And God said, No. Obedience was the most difficult decision of Debbi's life. But obedience brought greater blessings than she could have ever dreamed. Child of Promise is the true story of a young woman's adventure in hearing and trusting God. It's also the love story of a family formed through adoption. Every chapter carries a miracle characterized by child-like faith in the goodness of God. Child of Promise will encourage readers to consider their own promises, and believe again."

About the author

Award-winning author and speaker, Debbi Migit, lives in central Illinois, surrounded by pumpkin patches and corn fields. Her first book, Child of Promise, is the true love story of a family formed through adoption. After ten years of infertility, Debbi and her husband, Phil, were just months from adopting when God said, "Not this way." Child of Promise is the story of audacious faith resulting in multiple miracles; it encourages readers to remember their own promises and believe again.
She has won multiple awards and contests, writing stories that are filled with faith and hope. She loves to share personal anecdotes about God's faithfulness, infusing her talks with authenticity and humor.
Debbi and Phil are the adoptive parents of Alex (31), Ethan (20), and Kate (19). The God-ordained spacing of their children offered the unique opportunity to parent a teen and two toddlers-at the same time. This is the season Debbi fondly calls the TNT years!
Debbi's hobbies include reading, writing, and avoiding arithmetic. Her favorite color is turquoise, and she collects Trixie Belden books and typewriters. If playing Candy Crush was a paying gig, she would be rich.
Debbi's new romance/suspense series begins with September Shadows, and is set in Montana. After the mysterious death of their parents, three young sisters are determined to stay together and make a new life for themselves. This new life includes faith-testing danger, adventure, and romance. Watch for the release of September Shadows in spring 2021.

Powerful story of hope, faith and courage. Loved reading about how her faith kept her going in the tough times, the strong prayer life and hearing so clearly from God.

While this book is about adoption, this woman’s faith is incredible! I recommend this book for both subjects.

This really spoke to me

As I read this book I realised that for me this wasn't about Debbi's story of adoption but a reminder to listen to God and obey when He speaks. It has had me in tears, and laughter but the important thing is that it has touched and changed my relationship with God. Thank you!

Beautiful story of faith and family and being patient with God’s plan. Adoption is a tender subject. I appreciate the author sharing her journey in such a vulnerable way.

This book came into my life in an unusual way. About a year ago, our family's van was crashed into while parked. When I took it in to the place indicated by our insurance, the repair shop owner enthusiastically told me about his wife's book and their family. A bibliophile can never say no to a book, especially if I have met the people who wrote the book and or are featured in it. I am glad I read this book; it was open and honest and shared their story of how God worked in their hearts and lives to adopt. I felt like a lot of time was given leading up to deciding to adopt, and I wish more attention would have been focused on later events in their experiences. I hope that their book helps other people follow God's leading about growing their families!
