![Addition by Adoption: Kids, Causes & 140 Characters…
I had the honor of receiving an advance copy of Kevin Hendricks’ book “Addition by Adoption: Kids, Causes & 140 Characters”, and, I must say…
…well done.
I had the opportunity to connect with Kevin last summer through our mutual friend Mark Horvath, and despite our “hardly normal” beginning it has been a joy to follow along with Kevin’s journey and glean the wisdom of a father whose heart beats for justice and mercy.
Kevin’s collection of life’s little moments along the road of adoption has been captured in such a unique way that I found myself unexpectedly drawn back into my own story of adoption. I was drawn back into those moments when life is normal, and then into the very next moment when the reality of a child half way across the world is waiting for me as the only thing I could focus on.
Kevin’s story is full of life’s little moments that we wish we could hold onto forever. It was in these moments that I found myself bursting out in laughter and sometimes holding back the tears.
It was a true gift to hear part of their families adoption journey through the mind of his daughter Lexi. Through out this book she tries to capture the essence of what was really happening a world away; however, I think Lexi’s answer to one very profound question wraps up the metaphor of adoption very well.
Lexi: “I want to go see Jesus.”
Mom: “Where do you think he is?”
Lexi: “Jesus is in Ethiopia!”
Yes. Yes he is.
It’s in those words we find a truth that shines through the heart of adoption.
Kevin’s commitment to work towards “an ideal world [where] adoption wouldn’t be necessary” doesn’t stop there. He’s putting action to his commitment and a portion of the proceeds will go to charity: water in the hopes of building a clean water well in Ethiopia. Because in Ethiopia, a water well can be the key to saving lives and creating opportunities for families to thrive together making adoption a last resort.
Don’t miss the book & don’t miss the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of a child.
Limited Pre-order: April 13-20 (cheaper & more money to charity)
Official release: May 11 (available on Amazon.com)
