Hannah's Hope: Seeking God's Heart in the Midst of Infertility, Miscarriage and Adoption Loss

I just received an email from Jennifer Saake, author of the newly published book, "Hannah's Hope: Seeking God's Heart in the Midst of Infertility, Miscarriage and Adoption Loss" (NavPress, May 2005).

Although I've read only the first chapter of Jenni's book at her website, www.hannahshopebook.com/, I recommend it based on the interactions  I have had with Jenni over the past 10 years. Jenni and her husband founded Hannah's Prayer Ministries, Christian support for fertility challenges (including infertility, pregnancy loss, infant death and adoption). 

I recall interviewing Jenni years ago for a magazine article I was writing, and she was so gracious, open and honest about sharing her story -- especially the difficult parts.  For several years, I was involved with Ladies in Waiting (LIW), an infertility support group that is closely affiliated with Hannah's Prayer.  Julie Donahue, the former director of LIW, and Jennifer Saake of Hannah's Prayer were instrumental in supporting me when I was in the midst of my infertility battle, and they also encouraged me as I founded the Heartbeat Ministry for infertile couples and adoptive families.

I'm thrilled that Jenni's book is being published -- I know she's been hard at work on it for several years. I invite you to pick up her book. I believe that it will inspire and encourage anyone who's struggling with the difficult emotions that accompany infertility, miscarriage or adoption loss.

After I've had a chance to read it, I will include a review on my blog.

Thank you so much for sharing this book. I wish adoption loss never happened, but in the rare times that it does, I know how hard it can be to find resources and I want hurting families to know they are not alone.
