Book Reviews - The Heart of Adoption
"Armed with compassion, unconditional love and faith in our Lord,
Vickie Bryan brings us the story of her life, the quest to become a
mother and parent. This quest, surpassed years of barrenness and led her to a greater understanding of parenthood from a spiritual perspective. Each time one door was closed to her, she summoned her faith and opened another. With integrity, she discusses the pitfalls and disappointments frequent in the
adoption process, and uses them to illustrate through faith, that God's love never fails. This book is for currently adoptive parents, but more importantly, it is for those who have become frustrated
and are feeling hopeless in adopting a child. This book is an inspiration for all people who have it in their heart and spirituality to love a child who is alone and in desperate need to belong."
-Marsha Little Hendren, PhD Clinical Psychologist, Neuropsychologist
"'The Heart of Adopton' is a must-read for all that are going through the longing to have and nurture a child. A well-written book that takes you through the process of adoption, a book you can't put down, the author makes the reader "feel" each disappointment, heartbreak, hope, faith and triumph she and her husband James experienced on their long journey to become parents. Sometimes sad,
sometimes funny and witty, Vickie Patterson Bryan's story is written with heartfelt love, patience, perseverance and faith in her Lord, which only a barren woman can convey. "The Heart of Adoption" renews our faith in God that He, above all, is in charge."

"I ordered your book and had to read it for myself before passing it on to my friend. Though adoption has never been any part of my life, I must say that I found your walk of faith through the processes you went through to be inspiring. Isn't it so amazing what can happen when we put God first? And when we wait for Him...and His Perfect Timing! I just know that others will be inspired and encouraged by your story."
