My girls aren’t twins, though they look remarkably alike. They were conceived in the same month but born five months apart. Despite the years of pain we endured living with infertility and struggling to adopt, these girls are the miracle that happened when we gave in to God’s plan. My journey to becoming a mother wasn’t an easy one, and it certainly wasn’t glamorous. I was nearly destroyed by miscarriage and equally as devastated by the adoption process. Our fight to become a family played out on the set of a local network news program every morning. I smiled through the pain as a TV anchor while my dreams of becoming a parent seemed to bleed away year after year. Infertility and adoption brought me to my knees, but that’s where the Lord found me and taught me to stop hiding.5 Months Apart is intended to help families come out of our society-imposed seclusion, to ask for help and to believe in the ultimate happy ending: a successful pregnancy and a blessed adoption. Throughout, the underlying message is faith, honesty, and enduring grace. Lindquist’s story will show you that, no matter what path you’re on, there is hope, healing, and even miracles when you give in and let God lead.

Review

Kerstin radiates light ... a beautiful (inside and out) woman of God who personifies joy, positivity, love, and strength. From the moment we met, we connected instantly on family, motherhood, work, and most of all, Jesus. Her story is a powerful testament to the fact that no matter how hard life gets, faith and your belief in God can take you anywhere. She is a true inspiration and her wisdom, experience, faith, and grace will lift you up and give you hope! I am honored and blessed to call this woman my friend! --Mally Roncal, Celebrity Makeup Artist & Author

As is made clear by Kerstin's beautifully raw and inspiring recount of her journey to becoming a parent: motherhood begins not only in the womb, but also in the heart. Being a child of adoption, I know how easily I could've been just a problem someone erased, and because of that I thank my birth mother every day for choosing to give me the opportunity of life. However, I am also eternally grateful that my adoptive parents found me and shaped me into the man I am today.

Finding my birth mother in 1998 really brought my life full circle, not only for me but also for my adoptive parents. Life truly is a blessing, and I know from personal experience that my love for my adoptive mother was as real and as deep as anyone could love a mother, adoptive or not.

Grace and Georgia are lucky to have a mother who fought so hard and so long for them before they were even born, and I know that as much as these beautiful girls were a gift from God to Kerstin, she is also a gift to them. --Chaz Dean

Sorrow might be the greatest learning tool God graciously allows into our lives. Should we choose to feel its power, sit in its pain and take its lesson, we will find rest from lives lived solely to please ourselves. We learn to take on the greatest work of our lives, putting ourselves on the line for others. Kerstin Lindquist has learned well ... in these pages you will find rest. --J.R. Mahon, Spiritual Director, Pastor/Creator of Your Life s Work

5.0 out of 5 stars The title says it all!

A raw look into the lives of everyday couples who face the realities of infertility and adoption. Kerstin Lindquist writes so candidly you can truly feel her pain and joy. I had to continually remind myself that what I was reading was non-fiction. Kerstin is very brave to share such intimate details of her life in an effort to help others with this very private topic. Her faith throughout it all is incredible!

Incredibly revealing, honest & painstakingly raw. This isn't the "adoption was easy" book. This is a rollercoaster of twists and turns about infertility, marriage, and adoption. Shocking moments, bits of humor & lots of faith told with such a personal human voice. She's everyone's inner voice. I too am struggling with infertility & thoughts of adoption and this hit so close to home. Read it in 2 days!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Health consequences of IVF hormone exposure is an important consideration.
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2017
This book clearly outlines the physical, emotional and financial devastation that the pursuit of a child can bring. What was not explored (and in my opinion is an important consideration) is the long term health consequences that the exposure to infertility treatment hormones. A friend's daughter who gave birth to two girls by IVF died of ovarian cancer in her early 40s.

Kerstin opened up her heart and some painful memories of her daily life. Her quest to build a family was achieved by her faith in God. Her openness about what a real family is today rings true! A mom is a mom, adopted, biological, foster, a mom is the best thing ever!
