Book for Sale!!!
My book Losing Six Kids: My Failed Adoption Story, is now for sale on Barnes and Noble's website, on Amazon and on iUniverse's website. The book is about my experience trying to adopt 2 children (3 different times)and failing because of corruption and child trafficking.
I lost six kids in the span of eighteen months. And they were never really mine.
Not all adoption stories have a happy ending. We started our process full of naïve expectation. After years of being in the adoption process and waiting for a match, we finally received the exciting phone call to travel to Uganda to meet our children. Then began an unbelievable turn of events where I ended up living in Uganda for a year--dealing with child trafficking, lies and corruption. I had to confront agencies, lawyers, corrupt pastors and social workers. I filled out police reports, hired investigators and armed escorts. In the midst of all this conflict, I formed genuine lasting friendships.
This is a true account of the heartbreak of losing six different children, the joy of reuniting some of them with their mothers, and the frustration and anger of dealing with corruption. But it is also a tale of redemption and reunification, along with finding a love for Uganda and its amazing people.
I wrote this book simply to share my story. A cautionary tale about family and accountability. I’m not here to judge anyone else’s adoption. My hope is that my journey can help identify what accountability looks like when one is searching for the truth.
Mostly, however, I wrote this because it’s the only way I know how to make sense of what happened.
