About this ebook
The Greatest Gift My Parents Gave Me is a tribute to the efforts of the critical figures in the adoption process, the biological mother and the adoptive parents.
Ever since that day of conception, the biological mother faced and conquered adversities of many sorts, leading to the development of qualities that are gifted to her now-adopted child. The adoptive parents contribute their own gifts as they encourage and guide the adoptee into adulthood.
From the importance of an individual’s free will to the value of one’s faith, the book explores a total of sixteen gifts, including what inarguably is the greatest gift that could bless anyone.
So whether you’re connected to an adoption or not, maybe preparing for parenthood or just a woman unsure about the future of a pregnancy, may you be inspired, moved, and your heart uplifted by the stories, thoughts, and confessions shared in this book.
