When You Come Home Matthew Meadors

What happens when forgiveness, adoption and reconciliation converge in the form of a tiny baby? Miracles occur and lives are changed. A baby is left on an orphanage doorstep in Chongqing, China. Born with a heart defect and no chance of survival without surgery, her only hope is an elderly caregiver named Chien, a God of love and his son Yesu. A world away, in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, a woman named Katie Phelps has dreamed of becoming a mother her whole life but there are two problems: she can't get pregnant and her husband Aaron isn't convinced he wants to be a father. Growing up fatherless in the inner city left a hole in Aaron's heart that he'd blocked off from everyone - including God. As they stumble through the trying and expensive world of fertility, then into the equally complex world of foreign adoption, emotional battles and heart-wrenching decisions threaten to rip their marriage apart until God moves to bring them together in unforeseen ways.
