Summary

From the founder of This Gathered Nest YouTube channel, an uplifting story of Angela Braniff’s unusual path to becoming the mother to seven children through various methods of adoption and biological approaches, encouraging women and mothers to embrace the unique purpose that God has put in their lives.

Angela’s love for life and her family radiates through everything she does. The Braniff household includes their two biological daughters, Kennedy, 12, and Shelby 10; Rosie, seven, who was adopted from China with Down syndrome; Noah, seven, adopted from Congo; Jonah, five, adopted domestically; and finally, Ivy and Amelia, their one-year-old twins who were adopted as embryos and implanted in Angela, who gave birth to them. In fact, after the audiobook was finished, they joyfully welcomed a new baby into their home, Benjamin, through adoption, making them now a family of 10!

Love Without Borders shares Angela's relatable, humorous, and honest view of motherhood. Angela chronicles her journey to discover God’s purpose for her life. For years she walked the safe, expected path, until one day she could feel God calling her to boldly step out and follow him into new places, which led her to raise a large, nontraditional family that looked different than she ever imagined.

It was a winding path to motherhood, complete with heartbreak from failed adoptions, challenging pregnancies, and secondary infertility, but through it all Angela found the unique adventure God had for her. She has shared her family’s stories on her popular YouTube channel, This Gathered Nest, and now invites us in to go deeper and listen to where God might be calling us to go and who we’ve been tasked with loving, no matter how unusual (or just plain crazy) it may sound! The beauty of God’s plan is he uses imperfect people to bring about perfectly beautiful stories.

A beautiful story

I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed listening to this book and how much it has opened my eyes to living life differently. I have followed This Gathered Nest on YouTube for close to four years, since I was 16, and this story is inspiring me every day to be bold and has strengthened my desire to one day adopt when I start a family of my own. Thank you Angela, you are showing every day that love does not know genetics, colour or disability. I hope the world becomes a little more like you, and learns not to be afraid of those who are different. I am certainly willing to be a part of that story!

Such an inspiration!

Angela is real and honest about life, adoption, pregnancy and motherhood. She shows its turbulence from blistering highs to ‘in the valley’ lows in a down to earth, heart braking and funny way.

This is NOT I repeat NOT a ‘hippy dippy I’m greater than thou’ you should all go and adopt sort of book.

She made me laugh, cry and most of all open my heart and mind. After following her YouTube, blog, podcast and now reading her book I feel, in an odd sort of way, I have gained a friend.

What an inspirational lady!

Waiting on the next chapter!

This was so wonderfully encouraging, inspiring and funny! Can’t recommend this book enough, to encourage your walk with family, faith and more! I was crying! I was laughing, out loud may I add! Yes I looked like that crazy person, but it was magnificent!

Fantastic

After watching the Braniff family on social media for years I was keen to read this book. It’s well written touching and the narration flows well. It certainly did not disappoint

This book has touched my soul!

Listening to Angie narrate her story with such grace and wisdom has truly changed my life. Her perspective and faith during the high and low times just shows that no matter what we go through, no matter what knocks us down we CAN get back up stronger than before.

I’m so ready for part 2 of this amazing memoir!!

Ps. I will be purchasing the hard book copy too because this story is just too good to not keep forever!

Captivating, heartbreaking and joyous

Angela's story touched my heart, challenged my faith (something I has put on the back burner for some time) and forced me to see beyond my comfortable little bubble. She talks about her journey in such a raw and authentic way that makes it entirely captivating, and sometimes heartbreaking. I already know I will listening to Love Without Borders again.
