Paper Dream

Christy Davis thinks so. All she has wanted since she was a little girl is to be a mother. She got married to her husband, Matt, according to plan, but the most important end goal is still missing—she is childless. After a seemingly countless number of visits to a fertility clinic, Christy is losing hope. When her sister announces a third pregnancy, Christy falls into despair. Then a friend suggests adoption.

Christy and Matt desperately want their own baby, but Christy begins to realize that the option of having some baby is better than no baby. She decides that she can settle for adoption. Determined to find an infant to adopt, Christy and Matt start their search through the usual government adoption avenues, only to be told it’s nearly impossible to get a normal, healthy baby through that channel, since older kids or children with difficulties more frequently need families.

Not to be deterred from their dream, the Davis’s turn to private adoption and are soon connected with a birth mother who will surrender her baby when the child is born. Just when it seems as if Christy’s lifelong desire for motherhood is going to come true, unthinkable tragedy shatters the dream and, with it, Christy’s reason for living. Plunged into depths of agony she has never experienced, Christy loses sight of God and everything beyond her emotional pain. But God works in unexpected ways, and it takes another tragic event to help Christy see the dream God has for her.
