Blessed Reading

Son of My Soul – The Adoption of Christopher is the story of a woman’s journey through loneliness, poverty and neglect, her triumph over a turbulent past, and the joy of mothering her adopted child.

Ms. Welch’s autobiography begins with her uncle’s prophecy of her birth, and soon turns to a story of sorrow and abuse. A vow made at fourteen-years-of-age to save a child through adoption gives her new purpose, as she strives to survive a life of neglect and abandonment.

Breaking free from her past, she thinks of her childhood as “boot camp,” and applies the lessons she learned as an example of how not to mother her future child.

Her joy is finally manifested in the form of an infant boy born with cleft lip and palate. She realizes that her vow has indeed come to fruition, and that she has finally found “The Son of Her Soul.”
