When Kim de Blecourt and her husband decided to adopt a child from Ukraine, they knew that the process might be challenging. Nothing, however, could have prepared de Blecourt for the twisted
nightmare she would endure. During her year-long struggle to extricate her newly adopted little boy from that post-Soviet country's corrupt social service and judicial systems, de Blecourt was
intimidated, physically assaulted, and arrested. Worse, her months of loneliness, worry, and fear drove her to the brink of spiritual despair. But God had no intention of abandoning de Blecourt or
her family. Her amazing story-culminating in a spine-chilling race to freedom-offers dramatic proof that God's light shines on even in the deepest darkness.

Editorial Reviews
“From its opening words to its last, Until We All Come Home takes the readers
on a heart-pounding journey that combines the intrigue of a political spy novel
with the warmth of a mother’s diary. Kim de Blecourt’s book is that rare
true-to-life tale that combines warmth, perspective, and wisdom with a message
for everyone; we are all orphans in search of a relentless love that fulfills
the promise to bring us home.” —Shelly Beach, award-winning author of The Silent Seduction of Self-Talk
“Until We
All Come Home is a page-turner! This true life story is so captivating the
reader is fully emotionally engaged from the beginning to the end. Kim de
Blecourt has done an extraordinary job of relating the gripping impact of
saying ‘yes’ to God’s leading in the life of her family. The tenacity, passion,
and relentless cry of this mother’s heart will make a lasting imprint on your
life.” —Carol Kent, speaker and author of When I Lay My Isaac Down and Between a Rock and a Grace Place
“Until We
All Come Home reads like a spy thriller but with the reality that a child’s
life and livelihood is at stake. It’s a terribly beautiful story of a family’s
love for a child, a corrupt bureaucracy, and the painful lessons we learn when
we follow God wherever He leads. I loved this page-turning, God-breathed book.” —Mary DeMuth, author of Everything: What You Give and What You Gain to Become Like Jesus
“Until We
All Come Home is one woman’s true story which will draw you in from the
very first sentence. It is a story of love, intrigue, harrowing fear, and
absolute faith in the One who protects and provides in the midst of great
darkness. I literally could not put this book down.” —Kristine McGuire, author of Escaping the Cauldron: Exposing Occult Influences in Every Day Life
“Wow! That is probably the word I used the most
while reading this wonderful book! From the opening chapter to the last word
and everything in between—it is a wild, page-turning ride that pulls the reader
in and doesn’t let go. Bravo, Kim de Blecourt, bravo!” —Wanda L. Sanchez, producer, Salem Radio Network, San Francisco
“Watching God work in the lives of people is
always intriguing, and sometimes very unique. Until We All Come Home is a story of hope when every turn of events
appeared to be hopeless. This is an open and honest review of God’s
faithfulness and one person’s struggle in recognizing it.” —Dean Parham, Pastor of Immanuel Church of Holland, Michigan
“An international adoption, out-of-control
oppression, assault, robbery, corruption, manipulation, lawsuits, a national
warrant, spiritual attack, more than eleven months in a foreign country—and one
woman’s courage. Kim de Blecourt’s story will grab hold of your heart and won’t
let go. You might wonder, as I did, what you’d be willing to do for love and
whether your trust in God is enough.” —Twila Belk, speaker and coauthor of Heavenly Company and I Believe in Healing
“Kim de Blecourt’s story is amazing—and I never
use the word amazing. Her courage in the face of persecution and obstacles will
inspire you as you turn the pages of her adoption saga, a tale like none other. Until
We All Come Home reads like a novel and will enthrall you with each
nail-biting episode until the blockbuster conclusion. The difference is, Kim
really lived this story, and her profound devotion for her little boy is a
tribute to a mother’s love and to God’s care and shelter in the worst circumstances.” —Lorilee Craker, journalist and New York Times bestselling author
“I can describe this book in one word:
captivating. It details the heart-wrenching excitement of running and hiding
from one of the scariest government agencies in the world, and it is absolutely
magnetic. I don’t know how this family survived such a horrendous ordeal other
than through God’s intervention and favor. This is a must-read that you will be
talking about for years to come and a reference manual on the positive results
that come from having a tenacious, never-quit attitude.” —Gary VanDyke, president, Food for Orphans
Until We All Come Home reveals in harrowing detail the great complexity and sacrifice that can come with choosing to love even a single orphan. It's not cute or easy, and often it pulls us into a world of difficult and costly choices that lead far from the tidy realm we once inhabited. As Kim de Blecourt shows, however, such a journey can transform lives-for an orphan, for ourselves and for others as well. —Jedd Medefind, President, Christian Alliance for Orphans and former Special Assistant to the President (George W. Bush) and Director of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives
