Local Author Releases Book Detailing Journey to Adoption

Wheaton resident Jennifer Grant had a strong marriage and three happy, healthy children. She had a fulfilling life as a full-time mother and part-time newspaper columnist and a home in an idyllic Chicago suburb. To a casual onlooker, her family would seem complete. But Grant and her husband David knew better. Always maintaining open hearts toward adoption, they felt God’s leading and knew that the family still lacked one member.

Grant released her book, I Love You More: The Divine Surprise of Adopting My Daughter, in which she details the exciting and sometimes gut-wrenching search for her daughter, Mia.

With humor, personal candor, and insight, Love You More walks the reader through the Grant family’s decision to adopt, the strenuous search for their daughter, and adjusting to life as a multicultural family. In Love You More, Grant addresses difficult topics including spiritual doubt, miscarriage, and the ethics of adoption.
