The Broken Masterpiece: Adoption Perspectives Scot Bowlsby

We wanted to write a book about our experience of being adopted. Through the process of writing this book, we learned that we are all adopted in Christ. Christ makes something broken into something beautiful. We're all on a journey trying to find our way, but more importantly, we are trying to find hope in Jesus. This book is to help parents and kids that are adopted or struggle with adoption. In this book, there are two different perspectives: open case adoptions and closed case adoptions. We also cover topics adopted children deal with including fears, forgiveness, compassion, and God's faithfulness. We also answer questions and issues to consider when adopting.
