After John Houghton and his wife learned that they could not have children of their own they adopted three siblings, two boys and a girl, who were looking for 'a forever family', as the adoption agencies put it. What followed is all too common in adoptive families, but it is rarely talked about in public and has never been described with such transparent honesty as it is in the pages of this remarkable book. From the start, the children were difficult, but the scale of their problems only gradually became clear as the years went by. Strange fears and tantrums were accompanied by much more disturbing kinds of behaviour; the violence and rejection that the children had suffered were visited on their adoptive parents unpredictably and explosively. This is a story of desperate wanting, of anger and frustrated love. It is written with a kind of plain clarity that is both restrained and emotionally powerful. There is no triumphant victory over pain and loss, but there is, in the end, something like hope - a testament to the difference that two decent people can make by sustaining their commitment to an impossible situation.

From the moment our son started to speak, my husband and I decided to be honest and upfront with him in knowing from the beginning that he was adopted as a baby. He was just shy of four days old when we brought him home from the hospital. As the years passed he became more curious with questions of just how we became a family. We brought home a few books about adoption and would include them in with his reading ritual each night before bedtime. Even though he showed interest in some stories, none seem to grasp his full attention, he always wanted to hear our story. So with that said, it is how I became inspired to write this children's book. I also took it upon myself to create the drawings as well to make it even more personable. Most importantly to share our immense gratitude and devotion for having this beautiful boy come into our lives. Thank you my dear son for being everything a mother and father could ever want in a child. You have made our lives more happier then we could have ever imagined. Love you forever, Mommy xo

There are over 130 million orphans worldwide. The pro-life/pro-choice debate continues to consume politics and everyday conversations. Readers want to know what they can do to make a difference on these issues. Wait No More tells Kelly and John Rosati’s story of experiencing God more fully through the great blessings and challenges encountered during their journey to adopt four children from the U.S. foster care system. It is a story of God’s faithfulness to grow a beautiful family, through adoption, from the ashes of child abuse, neglect, and abandonment. The Rosatis strongly believe that God’s solution for orphaned children in the foster care system involves ordinary Christians desiring to live out an authentic pro-life commitment requiring action, not just words. Their story reveals how their beliefs challenged, enriched, and completely changed their family’s life.
