In Another Home: Choosing Adoption

Seventeen-year-old, Noelle, kept secret from her family that she was pregnant for four months. A friend revealed the pregnancy and more to Noelle’s mother. Both mother and daughter journey in an incredible true story of selecting an adopting family, the joys of childbirth, and experiencing an open adoption based on Noelle’s desire. The story, told by the unborn baby’s grandmother, details heart-impacting emotion as she mothers her own daughter and looks to the Lord for direction with every step. Even though they encountered bumps in the road, the adopting family has kept their commitments which has led to a strong, loving relationship between the adopted child and the birth family. Difficult choices unquestionably include sacrifice, but not withholding peace and joy. Josie hopes by sharing her story that others will discover how wonderful adoption can be and how intimately our Lord wants to walk with us. Josie Jones is a first-time author from the Midwest.
