GOOD READS: Hello, I Love You by Ted Kluck (Adoption Memoir)
/
This is one
I definitely recommend. The subtitle of this book, Adventures in Adoptive Fatherhood, made me unsure about whether or not the book would have a broader appeal for me as a mom. I shouldn’t have worried. This is so good for moms, dads, anyone wanting to know more about international adoption.
This is the story of the Kluck family as they travel several times to and around Ukraine to adopt their two sons, Tristan and Dima. This isn’t the Christianified, sanitized version either. It’s the honest, brutal, sometimes-life-sucks account of a Christian couple who heeds God’s call to care for orphans. It’s also the loving story of a faithful father who is willing to deal with the paperwork, delays, and bureaucracy necessary to bring his two boys home.
He writes with an honest and authentic voice, and I loved reading it. I will lend it to friends to read and then read it again when they give it back. Good stuff. Really good stuff.
The FTC requires that I disclose that Moody Publishers provided this book for me to review. Moody, however, required nothing from me and didn't ask for a positive review or anything else. Therefore, I like Moody more than the FTC, but I include this disclaimer because I also like not being fined by the FTC.
