  • Coming Home: The Journey from Heaven to Your Adopted Home

    Catherine Conley

    Paperback (Balboa Press, March 13, 2015)
    “Where did I come from?” A universal question that most, if not all children ask at one point in their early lives. The answer to this universal question can be vastly more complex for adopted children. This story answers that question for one of those adopted children. The answer, in this story, is quite simple…. our intention was love…and our family was somehow incomplete without you – even though we didn’t know you…or did we? Follow the story of one adopted girl from Heaven to Earth. This journey began in love and in the care of angels. And, it’s ending? Well, we’ll see. (There really is no ending to the story of love – is there?) My husband, our son, daughter, and I live in the Chicago area. We are deeply grateful for the many gifts we have been given. We strive in our flawed human way, to transcend and respond with love and gratitude, for that is our Source, our Soul which binds us to each other eternally. “My heart is full! Catherine Conley’s Coming Home helps us to recognize what our heart’s already know . . . Love is the guiding light and fabric of the Universe. Whether you’re a parent adopting a child or you’re a child who’s been adopted, reading Coming Home will feel like coming home.” – Dr. Darren R. Weissman Best Selling Author of The Power of Infinite Love & Gratitude
