Media Monday: Rebecca's Journey Home


Rebecca's Journey Home by Brynn Olenberg Sugarman

We gave it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Here is a summary from Kiwi Magazine Online:
This book is a lovely story of the blending of a Jewish family and their traditions with a newly adopted daughter (and sister) from Vietnam. The family’s excitement and anticipation about their new member is told warmly and genuinely by the author who adopted her daughter Rachele from Vietnam.

Our Thoughts: We loved how excited the boys were to adopt, and how the parents included them in the adoption process. We loved how much it showed their religion and the way their synagogue (church) helped them out. Religion is a central part of our family and it gives us strength, hope and joy. It is also a huge support system of friends that are excited for us to adopt. We love how the family embraced the culture and heritage of the daughter they adopted.
