<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Adoption Combat Zone presents the reader with real life adoption experiences from more than 350 families, including the author. This is hard-hitting, adoption realism and a must-read for anyone considering adoption. Invaluable insights into adoption and hosting agencies, police and child protection services, and much more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In Adoption Combat Zone the author takes you on a journey of her own personal adoption of four teenagers from Ukraine. From the deceptions and lies told by hosting agencies and while in country, to the trauma her family went through after bringing them home, you will find yourself sobbing, then angry, that such travesties take place, all in the name of helping children have a better future. Through the over 350 families who contributed their stories the reader realizes navigating the world of trauma children and teens is difficult at best and organizations who should support these families who have risked everything are the very organizations who contribute to the trauma. These problems with adoption are far more wide spread than most believe. Reading about confrontations with local law enforcement, child protective services, and even federal law enforcement with regards to human trafficking, this book will keep the reader glued to its pages to find out what happens next in this true story.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Kathe Ray delivers a gripping recount of her family's struggle with international adoptions. This work is devastatingly honest, peeling back the layers of deception and exposing the hosting agencies, adoption agencies, orphanages, and governmental agencies for what they are - a corrupt vehicle trafficking emotionally and mentally damaged children across international lines through overt manipulation of unsuspecting, well meaning, adoptive parents. The greed behind the reckless driving of these forces is sickening and the carnage of broken families to be finished off by Child Protective Services or other such organizations, is shocking. Little else stands between complete shredding of their family fabric except for their complete devotion to each other and their unwavering, though sorely tested, faith in Yahweh. Through a nearly four year-long battle, Kathe and Tom are left shell shocked by adopted teens who cannot reconcile the transition from their native land to America. The injections of quotes by numerous families who have suffered similarly leaves the reader aching for a resolution on their behalf - the real victims. -Rebecca Bailey, Author of "To Touch the Hem"</p><p>"Kathe has done an amazing job of telling her gut-wrenching story of international adoption. Adoption Combat Zone is not anti-adoption but rather an educational tool for those considering international adoption. Many of us have sacrificed our children on the altar of adoption and live with the pain and guilt it brings each day. Kathe pours out her heart and in doing so, gives us a glimpse into the depth of her hurting soul, as she advocates for adoption reform. This book will bring you to tears, yet give you hope that the truth is being revealed and that a reformation will take place regarding adoption. I know this was tough for Kathe to write but she was created "for such a time as this" and I pray that beauty will come from her ashes as she shouts this from the rooftops to ensure others are spared from the potential pain and horror of the Adoption Combat Zone." -Becca Hill, adoptive mom</p><br>
