Loved by Choice: True Stories That Celebrate Adoption
Susan Horner. Fleming H. Revell Company, $20 (288pp) ISBN 978-0-8007-1786-5
Many books have been written specifically for Christian parents, and many others have been written about adoption. An anthology that brings those genres together is Loved by Choice: True Stories That Celebrate Adoption, edited by Susan Horner and Kelly Fordyce Martindale. Many distinct voices are contained in these pages not only adoptive parents, but also men and women who reflect on their own experiences of having been adopted, and parents who made the choice to have their babies raised by others. The families introduced here include biracial, multinational and non-traditional families; one chapter shares the adoption stories of four special-needs children. The writing is not spectacular, but that's hardly the point. Christians who have considered adoption will be inspired by these courageous tales of faith. (Mar.)
