Adoption Joys: They Expected a Miracle gives God's plan for unplanned pregnancies as it shares encouraging true stories of the joys adoptive couples have found in adoption. Young, unmarried, single women who have found themselves in an unplanned pregnancy are also encouraged with the truth that these couples love them unconditionally over all the years to come. The baby is welcomed, of course, but not more so than the birth mom. The adoptive couples enter the adoption in a covenanted relationship, just as God expects from the couple in their marriage. Because of the covenant, the birth mom finds their couple and loves them as well as her baby.

Doris Howe is a missionary with Youth with A Mission. Her mission field is in Tyler, Texas at Loving Alternative Adoption Agency. She has been an adoption caseworker for over 24 years. Her main task is to minister to young women who find themselves in an unplanned pregnancy. She is to love them, educate them, and pray with them. God's ultimate call for Doris is to introduce these young women to Jesus Christ who is there to help change their lives. An adoption may or may not be part of that relationship. Doris has two books published. One is called Adoption Joys they expected a miracle. The other is a family book called The Shaws Multiplied.
