The Waiting Child: How the Faith and Love of One Orphan Saved the Life of Another($14.04Value)

Description

The Waiting Child is an extraordinary story of human resilience in the face of tremendous odds. Adopted by an American family at age four, Jaclyn goes to her new home with a great burden. Her new family had to leave behind a little boy who had been under her charge at the Chinese orphanage. Jaclyn inspires two families, several agencies, and two governments to cooperate to reunite her with "her baby." Everyone who reads this story will believe in the power of love to change the world. “Many adoptive parents can tell amazing tales about how their children joined their amily, but few are as remarkable as Cindy and Rick Champnella's.” ― Child Magazine “Personal, tender, and inspiring, reflecting what can happen when there are plenty of resources, love, and faith.” ― The Ann Arbor News “Sensitively pitched, moving, and refreshingly unsentimental.” ― Kirkus "This is a story about the perseverance of a little girl's heart and the remarkable making of a family." - Detroit News "My tradition teaches that one who saves a single life saves an entire world.
