One mother's story of heartrending loss, broken promises, and unexpected joy

The sky was overcast and gray on Pat's last day at the hospital. She wanted the best for her new daughter, and now the time had come, the last time she would see her daughter—forever. This is it, Pat said, in a quiet, sad corner of her mind. The day you give up the most precious thing you've ever been given.

Pat's decision to place Suzzane for adoption haunted her for years. And as she went on with life, through hard times and regrets, she began to hear God calling. And so it was that Pat went through an adoption process all over again—only this time her heart was happy as she was adopted by God and a loving church family.

Adopted is the true story of a woman whose life of bitter disappointment and heartrending loss was transformed by her growing awareness of a kind God who, in the end, surprised and blessed her beyond what she ever imagined.
