| Publisher Description: Broken Pieces...Mending the Fragments through Adoption, tells the true story of the Bishop family's joyful, yet traumatic, eye-opening, adoption journey. Giselle, the mother, gives voice to their forty-year, multi-generational odyssey which begins on an idyllic, sun-drenched Caribbean island, and continues for a time on the crime-ridden streets of New York City. Five family members comprise the Bishop clan who navigate many dark and troublesome waters in their struggle toward wholeness. However, Giselle is absolutely certain this union of such diverse individuals was ordained by God. As she relates her experiences, questions about adoption and foster care are revealed: What do adoptive parents need to know? What do all adopted children require? What joys and risks can adoption bring? How can adoptive families achieve inner peace? The answers illuminate the critical choices that need to be made by those considering adoption. This riveting and engaging account of one family's experiences provides a message of hope and inspiration to individuals and families encountering difficult adoption situations. It also serves as a guide to anyone involved personally, professionally or spiritually with adoptive and foster families. |
