Book Review: Love You More

Love You More: The Divine Surprise Of Adopting My Daughter By: Jennifer Grant.

Have you ever had a plan for your life? Jennifer Grant had such a plan. She would raise her family with a three year gap between each child. We all know the old saying "to make God laugh, make plans." Well Jennifer and her family made God guffaw!

Jennifer starts with a bit of a back story of her life and early marriage. She tells the story of her children's early childhood and toddlerhood. Then one day in church during a baptism of babies, "everything seemed to go quiet around her and I heard a voice...You'll be up there again with your baby." And so began the Grants adoption of Mia.

Grant's wonderful book consists of  just under 200 pages, but is filled with so much hope. The book is divided into 3 parts. Starting the Journey. Waiting for Mia. Learning to Know. Each chapter begins with a short story or facts about adoption. Grant will then go into very personal feelings and emotions of her adoption wait. And what a wait it was.

This is an imperative book for anyone considering adoption, especially international. It is a very honest look at all the 'yucky' parts. It is filled with true feelings from a mother in the midst of having her child living somewhere else. Even her daily prayer "Dear God, please take care of her until I can do it myself", is filled with honest and tear filled hope.
