About this ebook
One Step of Obedience Led to Thousands Irene and Domingo Garcia began their married lives at sixteen, already expecting a baby. Their first ten years together included Domingo’s alcoholism and abuse, and Irene’s desperate prayers for answers. Then a miracle happened: Domingo pleaded for forgiveness. As God healed their marriage, Irene and Domingo adopted a little girl. And a new season began for an imperfect couple who were willing to say yes to each other and to God. Over the past forty-five years, the Garcias have birthed, fostered, or adopted thirty-two children. Their story holds difficult endings as well as promising new beginnings. Above all, their story reminds us what can happen when ordinary people submit to God’s call. Rich in Love is about a family cemented in hope. About a need to love the orphan. And about a God who never, ever gives up.

Joseph & "Alfred" are my biological brothers. When I was 13/14 I had a chance to meet "Alfred" & his adoptive family. At that point Joseph had passed. I spent a few yrs getting to know this family. I never heard this account of my brothers & their lives before I met them. Was interesting to read Irene's perspective. Wish that while I was around I could've heard theses accounts I was still pretty young at the time tho. I wish I could've met my brother Joseph this book left me w/ more questions than answers.

This was a great book to read and I loved seeing how God works. But seeing how some kids are treated breaks your heart.
