Overview

When Kim de Blecourt and her husband decided to adopt a child from Ukraine, they knew that the process might be challenging. Nothing, however, could have prepared de Blecourt for the twisted nightmare she would endure. During her year-long struggle to extricate her newly adopted little boy from that post-Soviet country's corrupt social service and judicial systems, de Blecourt was insulted, physically assaulted, and arrested. Worse, her months of loneliness, worry, and fear drove her to the brink of spiritual despair. But God had no intention of abandoning de Blecourt or her family. Her amazing story - culminating in a spine-chilling race to freedom - offers dramatic proof that God's light shines on even in the deepest darkness.

This story reminds that the road of adoption, as with just about anything worth doing, is rarely an easy one. What we also see, though, is that the joy and purpose found in opening heart and home to a child that'd otherwise grow up without a family most always make the necessary sacrifices far more than worth it... --Jedd Medefind, President, Christian Alliance for Orphans and former Special Assistant to the President (George W. Bush) and Director of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives

An international adoption, out-of-control oppression, assault, robbery, corruption, manipulation, lawsuits, a national warrant, spiritual attack, more than eleven months in a foreign country-and one woman's courage. Kim de Blecourt's story will grab hold of your heart and won't let go. You might wonder, as I did, what you'd be willing to do for love and whether your trust in God is enough. Twila Belk, writing, speaker, co-author of Heavenly Company and I Believe in Healing
