About this listen

Shattered by infertility, Anna Maria knew that adoption was the only way to realize the family of her dreams. That is how she found herself in a Mexican orphanage ready to meet a six-year-old girl. Once in their forever home, her new daughter cried and pleaded to return to the women who had cared for her since birth. Anna Maria was devastated.

This moving memoir reveals the realities of adoption and a mother's struggle in breaking down barriers to give and receive love. Love at the Border shares intimate family moments with candor and honesty.

Anna Maria’s surprising journey answers the questions: How does an adopted child attach to a new family? How and when does a family recover from the trauma and loss that are a part of all adoption adventures? There is no formula for happily ever after. Mother and daughter build a relationship - one sometimes painful, one sometimes playful step at a time.

A must-listen for all those who have loved and lost, this deeply personal chronicle is a powerful testament to faith, family, and our need to belong.
