I have a very special announcement to make today! Fifteen years ago this weekend, my niece Akor and nephew Peter were adopted into the Balmer family! What better time to announce my new children’s book coming this spring called Lucy’s Adoption Song. This story is based on my sister and brother-in-law’s journey to meet Peter and Akor for the first time. Lucy, the character I created for my first children’s book, Can I Take it to Heaven? will be taking the lead in this next story, preparing and travelling to meet her new siblings. I am so excited to share this book with you in spring 2025! Happy adoption day to Peter and Akor. Thank you for letting me tell your story. It is an honour and privilege!

Lucy’s Adoption Song:

Based on the story of a family that adopted two children internationally, this book is a testament to the courage and love of Lucy and her parents as they cross the ocean to meet their new family members, Grace and John. Through many months of planning, preparation, and prayer, they make it to their new home. Lucy knew there was room in her heart and couldn’t wait for this new adventure to begin!
