Good books; good friends.
Greg Lucas: Wrestling with an Angel: A Story of Love, Disablity and the Lessons of Grace
Powerful true story written by a humble father. I cried through most of it because I get it. (*****)Francis Chan: Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
If you're not willing to make some changes in your life...do not pick up this book. Simple, profound truths of living our life to prepare for eternity. (*****)- Diane Malbin: Trying differently rather than harder: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
Absolutely a must-read book for anyone who has contact with anyone who has FASD! (*****) Carol Stock Kranowitz: The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder, Revised Edition
This book has been priceless in giving us resources to assist Max! I highly recommend it. (*****)
FA Resources
- FASD Awareness Day Info
Sept 9th is International FASD Awareness Day. FASD is 100% preventable.... if not prevented...it will last a lifetime. - Menonite Community in Canada
great resource site in Canada with offices in the US, and helpful resources for FA and other disabilities....will the US ever catch up in research??? - Grace Church Barnabas
An incredible ministry site that I wish churches everywhere could duplicate to meet the needs of children with disabilities. - FASCETS
Diane has been an incredible FA life coach for us! She offers FA training courses I'd highly recommend every teacher, pediatrician and parent take. - Wrightslaw Special Education Advocate
Great info on IEP's and how to be the parent advocate for your child.
Adoption Resources
- Christian Alliance for Orphans
This is probably one of the absolute best online resources you'll find for anything related to adoptions - - giving, going, opening your home or supporting. - AAI - Adoption Associates, Inc
This agency facilitates domestic and international adoptions. We used this agency for our second international adoption and was very pleased with our relationship with AAI. And obviously thrilled with our son!!! - Orphans Reborn - SGA
We've been involved with Slavic Gospel Association for many years. SGA has an awesome outreach program for orphans in Slavic nations. I highly recommend them as a great ministry to support! - Nightlight Christian Adoptions
Groundbreaking agency for Embroyonic Adoptions. Also facilitates Domestic and International Adoptions, and does Orphan Care. I have relatives who've used this agency for their domestic adoption.
