It's been awhile between reading and posting so pardon my poor writing. I also didn't care enough about the book to Google info to get it right so...
Some woman gave her baby boy up for adoption because her abusive was in prison for domestic violence. She never even told him she was pregnant.
Fast forward ahead 5 years. The guy gets out of prison and the woman thinks he's changed so she confesses. He wants his son back so he starts the process, even though the boy is in a loving home with 2 parents and he doesn't know he adopted.
**SPOILER ALERT**
Due to a snafu in the adoption paperwork the judge grants the return of the 5 year old boy to his birth family. he's to visit them 3 times and on the 4 visit he's to stay permanently. His adoptive parents are crazy over the decision and decide to run away to Europe, to a country with no extradition.
Then the birth mother sees her husband be abusive to the boy and before the 4th visit she has the husband arrested again and they sign the papers saying they don't want him after all.
It's religious fiction- the boys prays to God to not have to stay with the "mean" people and the adoptive mother is a faithful Christian who tries to convert her sister who does find God by the end of the book.
It was okay, predictable, and i still felt I was being hit over the head with religion. (384 pages)
