Them Before Us by Katy Faust & Stacy Manning is incredibly eye-opening and convicting.
This book challenged me to look at all reproduction through the rights of the child instead of the desires of the adults. It covers everything from divorce to same-sex parents to fertility clinics to adoption. There are so many things I had never considered about the loss to children in all of these situations.
It is not written from a Christian perspective, yet it proves through studies, interviews, and investigation that the ideal family structure for every child is married biological father and mother.
While we can’t go back and undo what has been done to this point, and while Christ can heal any trauma (primal wound) a child experiences, when we know better, we should do better.
**If you start the book, I strongly urge you to finish it so you don’t walk away with misconceptions.
