The story of the adoption of Ionut from an orphanage in Romania by the Kuhls family is overwhelming for me as a Romanian who had the opportunity to meet Ionut for the first time in the house of Barb and Ron's family. The fact that they chose to adopt the child with the greatest needs communicates the deep love that God has placed in the hearts of the two spouses. Looking over the years on Ionut's reunion with his natural family in Husi, Romania, is a miracle in which God's providence has manifested itself abundantly. -Mihai Dumitrascu, Senior Pastor, Biserica Emanuel, Galati, Romania As one of the pastors in the Kuhls' church, I had a front-row seat to the story captured in this book. Maybe you wonder if God ever speaks today. Maybe you wonder if God is capable of true healing and wonderful transformation. Noot's story is a miracle and the living answer to the question of God's engagement today. I remember the first time Noot came walking/running down the church hallway shortly after arriving in the US (before his prosthetic legs had been fitted). He was full of energy, a contagious personality, and unstoppable optimism. As a cross-cultural adoptive parent myself, I fully understand the concerns and fears any adoptive parent walks into with a cross-cultural adoption. Ron and Barb are amazing advocates for God-inspired adoption. Even better, the story is not complete. Noot is continuing to write new chapters in his own journey of faith and engagement. Thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for living out simple courageous faith. -Ken Nabi, Regional President of Converge Great Lakes One woman's incredible dream turns into an incredible reality in this amazing adoption story. God's fingerprints are on display from the beginning to the breathtaking end. The reader will come away fully inspired by a child who began life with an uncertain future and who now soars on wings of eagles. -Kristi Wilkinson, Author, The Child Who Listens
