Rich in Love: When God Rescues Messy People

By Irene Garcia and Lissa Halls Johnson

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.

This is the true story of the Garcia family who have adopted many children in the foster care system.
Their testimony is a powerful one that will encourage you.when you step out in obedience, God shows up. It may not be all roses but God will give you the strength to go on.
The majority of their children have made wise choices. A couple of them have chosen the harder path of being involved with drugs and alcohol.
The story is written by Irene.
