About this listen

From the founder of This Gathered Nest YouTube channel, an uplifting story of Angela Braniff's unusual path to becoming the mother to seven children through various methods of adoption and biological approaches, encouraging women and mothers to embrace the unique purpose that God has put in their lives.

Angela’s love for life and her family radiates through everything she does. The Braniff household includes their two biological daughters, Kennedy, 12, and Shelby 10; Rosie, 7, who was adopted from China with Down syndrome; Noah, 7, adopted from Congo; Jonah 5, adopted domestically; and finally, Ivy and Amelia, their one year old twins who were adopted as embryos, and implanted in Angela, who gave birth to them. In fact, after the book was finished, they joyfully welcomed a new baby into their home, Benjamin, through adoption, making them now a family of ten!

Love Without Borders shares Angela's relatable, humorous, and honest view of motherhood. Angela chronicles her journey to discover God’s purpose for her life. For years she walked the safe, expected path, until one day she could feel God calling her to boldly step out and follow him into new places, which led her to raise a large, non-traditional family that looked different than she ever imagined.

It was a winding path to motherhood, complete with heartbreak from failed adoptions, challenging pregnancies, and secondary infertility, but through it all Angela found the unique adventure God had for her. She has shared her family’s stories on her popular YouTube channel, This Gathered Nest, and now invites us in to go deeper and listen to where God might be calling us to go and who we’ve been tasked with loving, no matter how unusual (or just plain crazy) it may sound! The beauty of God’s plan is he uses imperfect people to bring about perfectly beautiful stories.

I have followed Angela for over 5 years now on YouTube, fascinated by her story and her then seemingly massive family (only 5 kids then!) Following her over the years started to give me insight into the possibilities of ‘family’ beyond the realms of what I knew to be ‘normal.’ Listening to Angela tell her story in this book just took my understanding to the next level- the book title says it all- how true and real and possible(!) it is to love without borders!
Angela’s story is beautifully told, and this audiobook captures her emotions in a way that wouldn’t be possible by reading! I would 100% recommend this to any fans of This Gathered Nest, or anyone curious about adoption or big families.

A captivating story of faith, love and growth

A beautiful book! I couldn’t stop listening to this story. It is such a beautiful story with so much emotion added to it. Angela has a real gift of making you feel like you are just listening to a friend sharing her life stories. Thank you for opening you lives and hearts to us Braniff family!

Can’t wait to hear more from the beautiful Angela!

I preordered this book as an audiobook because I just love the sound of Angela's voice. The way she speaks is so soothing and heartfelt. But the story she wrote, the way she was able to tell her story from a Christian perspective and still make sense for an agnostic reader was what impressed me so much. While her story is about how God lead her to finding her family from all corners of the globe, it's a story that goes beyond that. And it spreads a powerful message about how living your life against societal norms can be so rewarding. Well worth the read/listen.

Binge listened to it in a day!
