Children of Dreams
By Lorilyn Roberts
Communist blockades, life-threatening illness, betrayal and deceit all play a part in this one-of-a-kind adoption story.

Description
"I took away her dreams," my husband said, on September 4, 1986. Those words echoed off the walls of the judge's chambers carving deep rivets in my soul. Despite my husband's lame confession, eight years later, I began my own personal Iditarod to adopt two daughters from the remotest regions of the planet. Seemingly endless roadblocks—lies, betrayal, sickness, delay, deception, corruption, fear, and a race against time—revealed to me the similarity between the adoption of my daughters to God's adoption of us. Anyone who has felt as if he were "born under a cloud" will be riveted to the pages that speak of hope and redemption, which are woven into the story on multiple levels. In the words of C. S. Lewis, the "Weight of Glory" in Children of Dreams will embolden the reader as the story reveals that the most ordinary stuff is within each one of us, but the glory of God can't be contained in the simplest of journeys. As God’s adopted children, we are capable of what is more than humanly possible in man’s finite understanding. We are His "Children of Promise," and with Him all things are possible.
