A Leap of Faith

Jill Norton's life was not how she envisioned it. Instead of a calm, peaceful life of control-God called Jill and her husband to open their hearts and home to ten foster children. Over the course of six years, Tom and Jill gave eight of those children a forever family through the miracle of adoption In A Leap of Faith, Jill reveals a true look at the difficulties and rewards in allowing God to write the story of her life. By sharing her heart warming and sometimes funny, personal stories of each child, she encourages potential and current, foster and adoptive parents in their own journeys with special needs children. In this book, Jill looks at how the system works; how to manage birth family connections, and why those connections are vital; critical tips to make foster and adoptive parents' journeys easier; and how she and her husband discipline. Jill also offers an intimate look at what this call on their life has cost them, and she answers the question, "Would they do it all over again?" No matter where you find yourself in your own life story, you will appreciate the way Jill shares the ups, downs, and crazy life of a family that has chosen to step out of their comfort zone, and make a difference in the lives of eight precious children.
