About Love at the Border, An Adoption Adventure
After her third miscarriage, Anna Maria knew that adoption was the only way to realize the family of her dreams.
Precocious six-year-old Priscilla, brought to an orphanage in the hills of Mexico as a baby, said she wanted a home of her own. Could this be the family that they both have been looking for? Not so fast.
To lose her biological mother and the women who raised her was a devastating blow. At the same time, her language, culture, food and friends vanished in a blink. Priscilla learns what it means to be a daughter and a sister. Anna Maria’s skills as a mother are tested in a profound way.
In this deeply personal and moving memoir spanning fifteen years, Anna Maria reveals her struggles in breaking down barriers to give and receive love.
Love at the Border shares intimate family moments with candor and honesty – a powerful testament to faith, family, and our need to belong.
