Anderson Update
The feedback I have received for Answers in Abundance has certainly validated the desire and effort it took to get our story into print. Emails and letters have come in from across the country with encouragement, questions, prayer requests, and inspirational testimonies.
Our children continue to thrive in our non-traditional, bunched together family. Eliah and Jacob are 7, Alivia is 6, and Paige is 5. The recent article I wrote, “The Adoption Option,” which was published in Today’s Christian really excited my girls, as their picture is in the same magazine that has Hannah Montana on the cover!

— John and Nancy Ortberg, Authors and pastors"Elliott and Angie's story is one of hope and grace. The unique telling of the journey from the father's perspective is fresh and brave. Those in the midst of the pain of infertility should read it for the gut wrenching honesty. Those unfamiliar with the pain should read it to gain guidance for reaching out to those struggling. This is the book of the silent pain brought to light and God’s journey with a hurting couple."
— Jerry and Linda Cain, President & first lady of Judson University"We personally witnessed the agony and the ecstasy as Elliott and Angie went through the pilgrimage of childlessness to adoption to losing the adopted to regaining the adopted to birthing their own biological babies and starting this mixed and blessed family. This is not only a human interest story but a real story, a story of real people dealing with the real issues of life. Answers in Abundance is a must read for every Christian parent and every young couple planning a family."
