Didn't want to do anything else but read this book

When I got my hands on this book, I had to force myself to engage in my daily activities in my life. I didn't want to stop reading. From the first to the last page, Kim takes your attention captive. You cry with her, hurt with her and even laugh with her. My emotions jumped from relief to fear within paragraphs of each other.
Kim has a way of sharing her story that makes you not have a better understanding of the way God allows things to unfold in our lives, but rather possess a deeper desire for Him.
"Where are you, God? You got me here and you told me to be patient, and now...where are you?" This is a time when she released her anger at God and her situation for the first time. I love Kim's honesty and I believe that God does too.
This is a book you want to pass on to others to read, but then get it back so you can read it again. It's that amazing.

Until We All Come Home is a gripping account of the de Blecourt family's journey to bring their adopted son home from the Ukraine. The family's roller coaster experiences sorely tested their faith. And author Kim de Blecourt doesn't hesitate to share this struggle, as well as the Lord's steadfast presence, with her readers.
In her wonderful book, Kim writes with refreshing openness and honesty about the times she lost sight of God in the trials of adopting little Jake. Stuck in a post-Soviet society still reeling from the effects of communism, she was assaulted, ridiculed, and ultimately arrested. Yet she never gave up on her son just as God never abandoned her.
Over the long lonely months of isolation, raised expectations, and dashed hopes, Kim periodically questioned God's presence. These compelling scenes of her despair and God's faithfulness bring an incredibly inspiring aspect to the de Blecourt's adoption story.
Until We All Come Home is a book you'll be reading long into the night. It is a story of adoption. It is a story of trials and celebrations. It is a story of perseverance and faithfulness.
Ultimately, it is a story of God's love in action, and it is told by the de Blecourt's for His glory.

“It was compassion that opened our hearts to adoption and it was love that made us stay, but it was God who brought us home.” - Kim de Blecourt
Each adoption story has its own challenges and joys, perhaps none more so than Until We All Come Home, uniquely wrought with stark and racking experiences as it recounts the powerful tale of the de Blecourt family’s adoption of their Ukrainian son. As the reader is drawn along with Kim de Blecourt for her year-long stay in the Ukraine, it’s difficult not to wonder just how much more one family can withstand. At each turn, however, the faithfulness of God is highlighted and lifted up. In essence, while Kim is the writer, Until We All Come Home is really God’s story of care for one orphan, one mother, one family, and the global network of people He placed around them to be His hands and feet when they were each most deeply in need.
Until We All Come Home is poignantly and captivatingly layered with fear and protection, need and provision, heart rending sadness and life altering joy. It is a fast-paced tale woven in such a way as to cause the reader to feel it a privilege to share in this very personal part of the de Blecourt family’s story.
Against the grey backdrop of Ukraine, God’s faithfulness shines. Until We All Come Home inspires the reader to resonate with Kim’s mother-heart, to treasure the orphan, and to delight in God’s care of His own. Pick it up; you’ll be glad you did.

This is the true account of one woman’s struggle to bring home to the USA the Ukrainian orphan she and her husband want to adopt.
Having fallen in love with little Sasha, the paperwork for his adoption goes horribly wrong when the Ukrainian government moves the goal posts. Where others would have given up, author Kim de Blecourt decides to stay and fight.
Almost single-handedly, she takes on a regime still creaking under the weight of former Soviet socialism. Through dogged endurance and her deep trust in God, she finally triumphs.
Woven into the pages of this book are encouraging little signs that the Ukraine is undergoing a transformation. She visits a new kids’ paradise called Pinocchio and a cool café. Austerity is melting and there is a chink hope for a brighter tomorrow for the whole country.
This is an exciting story of one woman and one little boy. Its message, however, is far-reaching for it confirms that the heart of the individual is stronger than a system that would eclipse the needs of the individual purely to sustain itself.

I received an advance copy as part of her launch team. I was very curious to read it read it and I was captivated from the first page. It was hard to put down because the story was so intriguing. It was very suspenseful and eye opening.
I never would have guessed that anyone would ever have to go through such an ordeal to adopt a child. She writes it in such a way that the reader feels like she is right there, going through the ordeal with her. This is a real story of courage and perseverance!
It's also very inspiring because it reminds us of how much God loves us and how much He went through to adopt us.

"Until We All Come Home" reads like an action-packed suspense novel but the knowledge that the story was lived out by Kim and her family makes this book astounding. Kim writes with honesty and emotion that will put you on the edge of your seat one moment and leave you feeling emotionally exhausted the next.
As an adoptive mom I am not naive to the complications and complexities of international adoption. But Kim's story is unlike any other. Her determination and courage in the fight to bring Jake home no matter the cost is inspiring. Her faith, and God's hand throughout her time in the Ukraine is a testimony to His love for the fatherless and us.
