The Waiting Child: How the Faith and Love of One Orphan Saved the Life of Another

This is an easy, fast read. Quite a story about a few Chinese adoptions. Although its mostly about 2 orphans, there is a third and fourth child from the same orphanage that are a part of this story also - it is rather amazing. There are gaps in some information - like exactly why the first child was listed for adoption and exactly what all the paperwork problems where to get her adopted. Left a lot of questions. Also, if you are adopting an older child from an orphanage I think there is alot you can learn about conditions these children live in and how it can affect their integration into a family. Worth a read.

This haunting book is one you'll not forget! This story is of a Chinese orphan who, although adopted in America, would not forget her best friend back in China and did everything she could to find an adoptive family for him too. It doesn't sugar coat the adoptive process or conditions but it is an extremely positive and faith filled journey for the Champnella family.
