Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not homeschooling my favorite students, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use herbs and essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Favorite Adoption Books

I love growing our adoption book library. It’s so fun to learn about other families’ favorite books, so I thought I’d share our adoption-themed favorites. Some are more favorite than others, but we’ve read them all. A handful are China-related, but could still be great for children not adopted from China. Some simply have fantastic adoption themes and are applicable to a wide audience. I think it’s a great idea to have a variety of adoption-themed stories available so children can understand that families are knitted together in different ways. It shows that we may be different, but we are all bonded together through love.

We do keep these books on a shelf in our homeschool room that’s easily accessible to the children who understand proper book care. For Dumpling, I try to read books out of this collection often to him so he’s familiar with them, but he doesn’t have free reign. Click on the bolded title to find out more about the book and/or to purchase it. And if you have a favorite adoption book that not in our collection, please share in the comments!
