Dew Drop from Heaven - by Julie Scott (Paperback)

About the Book

A transparent look at the lifelong impact of adoption through the eyes of an adoptee and adoptive parent.

Book Synopsis

Adoption is often celebrated as a beautiful beginning, but for adoptees and birth parents, it starts with separation--a difficult and complex reality. Dew Drop from Heaven is a heartfelt memoir that invites readers into the hidden layers of the adoptee experience:

• grief
• confusion
• healing

The author shares her story of being adopted from foster care as a baby and raised in a Christian family. Through intimate reflections, she takes readers along her journey from childhood to adulthood, navigating relationships with her adoptive family, connecting with her biological relatives, and later becoming an adoptive parent. Her story helps readers understand that adoption does not create a family, it expands it.

This book offers a rare and honest perspective on the challenges of growing up as a transracial adoptee within Christian culture and explores how adoption has shaped the author's friendships, romantic relationships, marriage, and motherhood. It provides guidance for adoptees and their loved ones, helping them navigate the emotional and relational complexities of adoption by thoughtfully addressing questions related to adoption.
