For years, Debi McCrea and her husband Mike had attempted to adopt an infant. Twice they’d almost signed papers, but arrangements had fallen through.

In the summer of 1999, Mary and her husband and their four daughters, ages nine years through six months, went to spend a [...]
Jennifer’s Guardian
Connie Kennedy of Pawhuska, Oklahoma, has the best job in the entire world, just as I do: we’re grandmothers! But there is an enormous amount of responsibility that accompanies this task, and one day Connie’s angels were really put to the test. “About three years ago, I bought a new Suburban,” Connie says, “and I [...]
The Visitor
Joan Clayton’s grandmother lived along the highway during the Depression, and Joan cannot estimate the amount of poor travelers she fed. “A lonely and hungry person moved Granny’s compassionate heart,” Joan recalls.

With a Little Help…

Finally, she decided to just TELL it (which is the way it happens to most of us, Elizabeth!). “My second child, Joe, was in the 8th grade [...]
“Your Daughter Will Recover…”
As the mother of a drug addict, Marta felt hopeless. The odds that her teen-age daughter would abandon her addiction and her lifestyle seemed unlikely. According to the specialists in Sicily, where the family lives, young, pretty, female addicts were the least likely people to stop taking drugs, especially heroin, “the tyrannical lover who never [...]
Dark Shadows
Oujji boards, fortune-telling and other substitutes for God’s authority seem like harmless pastimes to many of our children.
