WE NEVER DREAMED THIS WOULD BE OUR STORY Whether you placed your baby in an adoption plan four days ago or forty years ago, healing after placement can feel like an unexpected journey as a birth mom. Hope and healing can flourish. Filled with hope for the future, this 30-day devotional assures birth moms facing healing in post-placement that the Lord is still near. Though this season may feel devastating, God can bring growth and beauty once more-much like the fireweed flower after a forest fire. Drawing from their own experiences, birth moms Katie and Leah share stories of hope and resilience, aiming to inspire others with the message that God's grace and faithfulness are always present. Each day has Scripture on which to meditate, an encouraging message, and prompts to write what is on your heart. The devotional is ideal for personal reading or as a thoughtful gift for a birth mom who could use encouragement.
