A Treasury of Adoption Miracles by Karen Kingsbury

But adoptive family get all the points from their church friends because they've adopted across race lines. The MIRACLES devotional draws from five of Karens most inspiring books, helping readers begin each week encouraged by a true story of Gods miraculous power. In A Treasury of Adoption Miracles, Kingsbury draws on her experience as an adoptive mother to give listeners an inspiring. Yes, Haitians are more culturally expressive about what they want and hope for. With more than 20 million copies of her award-winning books in print, Queen of Christian Fiction (Time) Karen Kingsbury is Americas number-one inspirational novelist. God offers no such promises as are offered here, in the highly curated air of the most heartwarming of adoption tales.Īlso found the preference for Haitian children over the dour-faced Eastern European children to be culturally-insensitive cringe.

And then, when if falls through anyway- 'it's fine because the little girl DIED right after and- it was because God didn't want us to get attached! THAT was what God was sparing us from!'Īs a non-beleiver, it seems like a series of stories written in the strong light of survivorship bias. Other than how lucky the adoptees feel for their adoptive and birth families, and how, if her Haitian children are very good, one mother gives in to their requests to do the vacuuming.īasically, it's a series of touching reuinion-against-all-odds stories. Picked up this short little book hoping it would have something describing the adoption experience, and challenges. Abortion petty much isn't mentioned- except in the mouth of shiftless fathers who want the good girls they've corrupted to get one- which is fine, since that isn't really what this is about. However, being in the middle of our own adoption journey, I was curious to read this collection of stories. I have to say I’m not a big fan of Kingsbury’s fiction. It's saccharine, but it's very up-front about the fact that it's written as a pitch to convince people on the fence that adoption is a good way to go.
