Adoption is full of waiting. Laci Richter knows from experience what it is like to wait. She is a Mom to two daughters by infant adoption, a speaker and author of the new book, Refuel Your Wait: Find Hope and Overcome Fear While Adopting.
Laci speaks to the hearts of waiting adoptive parents as she shares the story about how she found hope and joy through the wait.
“For 6 years we experienced a waiting season filled with fears, doubts, tears, prayers, heartache, joys and growth. Not one piece of the journey was wasted. There was purpose in each and every decision, twist and turn.”
–Laci Richter, Mom of 2 through infant adoption
In her book, Laci talks about the hard experiences of going through the failed matches, “in the beginning of our trials, we had a tendency to hide the hard experiences and loss to protect others from our pain. We quickly learned that outside of each other, we also required love and support of family and friends.”
