Eight Was Enough: A God-Led Adventure with Adopted & Special Needs Kids (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737484707)

Answer God's calling and find your purpose in parenting with this mother's transracial adoption journey.

Children should feel unconditionally valued and accepted regardless of birth circumstance, race, or ability-and Trisha Campbell and her family rose to this challenge. After a search for faith inspired her to care for hungry orphans in a third-world country, she heard God's calling and adopted five children to join her biological three.

Life in one big, transracial family can be difficult, especially when many in society don't think White families should adopt kids of color. But when God is in the lead, every day is an adventure-never lonely, never boring.

A heartfelt memoir of God's grand design for her life purpose, Eight Was Enough chronicles a devoted Christian parent's journey in trusting God with unwavering faith to create a divinely inspired, transracial family. Full of spiritual insight for parents on their own adoption or fostering adventure, this true story will guide you through the sometimes difficult but always rewarding and adventurous path of adding a child to your home-and your heart.

• How to find your purpose in parenting, the saving love of God, and truth of the scripture.
