So Far to Find You

Adoption is a story of courage, sacrifice, and love—a story God has been writing since the beginning of time. In this third volume of The Chosen Collection, Skillful Pen Press brings together a tapestry of voices: heartfelt non‑fiction, imaginative short stories, and soul‑stirring poems. Each piece shines a light on the beauty and complexity of adoption, honoring birth parents, adoptees, adoptive families, and foster families with tenderness and truth. ​ These pages hold stories of waiting, of choosing, of letting go, of stepping in, and of discovering that family is often formed in the most unexpected ways. Whether real or fictional, each piece points to the God who sees every child, every parent, every moment—and who calls us His own. This anthology is more than a collection of writings; it is a celebration of belonging, a tribute to the brave, and a reminder that every adoption story is a miracle of grace. Featuring K.Ann, Rebekah Allgood, Ali Aquene, Catherine Cruz, Willow Hoffer, Brooke Jacqueline, Jaycee Nosreip, & Ann Weaver
