An inspiring adoption memoir for those who have loved, lost and laughed along the way to making a family. After her third miscarriage, Anna Maria knew that adoption was the only way to realize the family of her dreams.

In this deeply personal and moving memoir spanning fifteen years, Anna Maria reveals her struggles in breaking down barriers to give and receive love. Love at the Border shares intimate family moments with candor and honesty - a powerful testament to faith, family, and our need to belong.
