Family & Faith - Books recommendations

Whether you are pregnant, waiting for adoption, preparing to foster, already a parent but needing some perspective or resources... here are some books' recommendations.

When we approach parenting, the focus it's often on the physical aspect of things, such as preparing a place in your home, buying what you need, work out routines and doctor visits, etc. But it's also important to make sure our spiritual and emotional preparedness is on our radar.
