Description
From authors and speakers, Steven and Courtney Cohen, this companion Guide for Where Your Beginning Began is designed for parents, teachers, counselors, family, and friends of children who join a family through private adoption. This guide is designed to help give common language, empathy, compassion, and understanding for adopted or adoptive children, while equipping the reader with questions, background information of the illustrations, a scavenger hunt on every page, as well as ways to challenge the readers own precepts, beliefs, and understandings.
When a child joins a family by way of private adoption, they often wrestle with questions of identity. One day, an adopted child will start to wonder where they came from - where their beginning began.
Where Your Beginning Began helps adoptive families discover together a child's initial foundations to answer a critical question of identity. God knew us before time existed and He is the safest, most trustworthy Person to take our questions to.
Join Kaynay, the elephant, as she journeys through the land of Fambly (Jamaican for Family) into her past to better understand her place in this world - and discover for yourself where your beginning began.
What to Expect: This is a fun, colorful land which also has some perilous and challenging places you'll encounter as you travel throughout all our Land of Fambly books.
Our family has personally experienced the beauty and challenges of private adoption, which prompted us to share this book with you and the children you love. In this guide, we'll walk you through the book, page by page, to help you see the many hidden gems that can springboard helpful and healing conversations with your child.
Grab your copy of Where Your Beginning Began and join us for the scavenger hunt, deep questions, and guidance to help you in self-reflection.
Where Your Beginning Began is also available on BookBaby.com
About the Author
Steve Cohen, former atheistic anti-Christ was hellbent on living for himself and ripping Christians' faith apart, until he met the God who loved him regardless of his faults. Now that same God that Steve railed against is the God he loves and serves. Steve is driven by two things, seeking what God says in every moment and doing what the Holy Spirit empowers us to do (especially loving others in the midst of our messes). These are the catalysts that drive Steve to be a catalyst of others to do the same.Author of multiple books, including What Lies Beneath, Loved As You Are, and However Long Forever, Steve passionately guides, challenges, and inspires people to reorient themselves to God and take responsibility for their relationship with Him and the people around them. Co-founder of Now Found, along with his wife, Steve utilizes workshops, videos, blogging, and books to remind us that we are all, like he was, Never Too Lost To Be Found. Steve is married to Courtney, his anchor and stabilizer, who challenges him to stay the course. Steve finds refreshing in the outdoors, hiking, camping (not glamping), swimming, and sitting under the stars he once worshipped (now worshipping their Creator). Living in Texas, Steve and Courtney lead a house church and have three children who are all beautifully unique and remind him that God truly does hear our prayers and cares about us as His children.

For Courtney Cohen, everything comes down to two questions: Who is God? And, who has He designed us to be? Whether she's writing, speaking, or homeschooling her children, these questions propel her forward.

Co-founder of Now Found Ministries, along with her husband, Courtney utilizes videos, blogging, and books to encourage others towards intimate relationships with God and a deeper awareness of His Voice speaking purpose over every life.
