While adoption confuses many, the need for adoptive parents is there, whether it is local or overseas...many children need homes. Jennifer Grant in her novel "Love You More" takes us through the ups and downs of her journey to adopt.
Already a mother of 3, Jennifer takes in the consideration of of what family is to her...and while she fondled with the idea for some time, she felt God wanted her to adopt. There were numerous obstacles for her and her small family to overcome, yet somehow they still accomplished this amazing love for a little girl in Guatemala whom they chose to bring home.
This novel will keep you flipping pages as you follow Jennifer through grocery trips, late night chores and the happy and sad moments of her life. The struggles of adopting overseas and waiting for the phone call saying they could finally meet the little girl they were to call their own. There was the fear of the birth mother changing her mind about adoption and so many other worries. You catch Jennifer at her worst and at her best.
I feel this novel really portrays both sides of adoption. The joyous homecoming for the new child, the loss on the birth mothers half and all of the bumps along the journey. There is no false pretense telling you that adoption is all hassle or that only those unable to have their own children adopt. (Jennifer has 3 children already of her own) but this story shows you that building a family is about love! You just don't give up on the ones you love. You won't need a bookmark once you pick this novel up, as you will be glued after the first paragraph.
Although this story seems to be based towards the audience looking to adopt or really parents in general, I think many individuals that love a heart touching story will find "Love You More" very intriguing.
