It truly is a life changing book. Adoption is wonderful but not the only way to help, as you said, gifts of time and money can come in many forms.

I mentioned you and the 6 children you had adopted on a modest income and told my friend how much you inspire me. I know that you do what you with a motive of obeying Christ and being faithful to His call - not to inspire others. But thanks for inspiring others just the same. (I don't just mean through adoption either; I mean through intentional parenting, diligent home-tending, joyful large families, and the like.) I blogged about you, and others like you, and my hope to emulate you through adoption one day at http://heartpondering.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/adoption-reversing-wretchedness/ Keep doing what you're doing. :) Mary:

I read "There is no Me Without You" and I loved it and quickly passed it on to my friends that I knew it would touch. One of those friends went on to adopt a sibling set of two from Ethiopia soon afterward. I'm hoping God has something in the cards for me regarding orphans. I will continue to wait and see. YES!!!
