Story
She never imagined the pursuit to parenthood would involve the emotional assault of an adoption agency's flexible morality or invasive surgical procedures that brutalize both their bodies - but it did. Lauri M. Velotta-Rankin and her husband were sent overseas by an unscrupulous adoption agency to chase the ghosts of children they'd never bring home. After turning to in-vitro fertilization (IVF), a life-threatening diagnosis sent them reeling with fear and to the brink of emotional collapse.

Story
When a family secret comes to light, lives are changed forever in this honest, beautiful, and sometimes painful memoir. When Mark, adopted at birth, set out to find his genetic family as an adult, he found something he never expected—three full-blood siblings, including a persistent sister who would alter the course of his life. He finds himself faced with the emotional task of coming to know his entire birth family, along with the unintended impact it has on his parents and his marriage. This raises age-old questions: What defines family? Nature or nurture?

While most kids are served home-cooked dinners and tucked in with bedtime stories at night, Mary Zoe never knows which version of her mother, Zodie, to expect. She might be dressed to the nines, rhapsodizing about a more luxurious way of life, or she might be strewn naked on the floor, slumped into unconsciousness by drugs and alcohol. But either way, Mary Zoe has known from an early age that she wants a better life.

Dr. Susan Mossman Riva was adopted in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1963. In 1995, she sought the help of the Nebraska Children's Home to find her birthmother, leading to the discover of her birth family in 1996. Miraculously, her search and reunion coincided with her biologicals sister's search.

The divine timing of their reunion happened months before their biological, maternal grandmother died.

Van de tempel naar een ziekenhuis, naar het politiebureau, naar een weeshuis. Tot hij op tweejarige leeftijd aankomt in Nederland, bij zijn nieuwe ouders. Naarmate David ouder wordt, heeft hij steeds meer vragen. Hij weet dat er ergens iemand is die zijn waarheid kent.

We all may agree that love is the greatest emotion one can possess. Every one of us has a love for someone or something. What is Love, Faith and Hope in God's own words? "But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is LOVE." 1 Cor. 13:13. Faith - How does faith come to a person? One way faith in God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit can come to anyone is through the hearing the Word of God. Rom. 10:17 - "So when Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."

There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
