Until We All Come Home: A Harrowing Journey, a Mother's Courage, a Race to Freedom
When Kim de Blecourt and her husband decided to adopt a child from Ukraine, they knew that the process might be challenging. Nothing, however, could have prepared de Blecourt for the twisted nightmare she would endure. During her year-long struggle to extricate her newly adopted little boy from that post-Soviet country's corrupt social service and judicial systems, de Blecourt was insulted, physically assaulted, and arrested. Worse, her months of loneliness, worry, and fear drove her to the brink of spiritual despair. But God had no intention of abandoning de Blecourt or her family. Her amazing story-culminating in a spine-chilling race to freedom-offers dramatic proof that God's light shines on even in the deepest darkness.

April 14, 2022I knew some of this story before I read it. I knew how it ended. Yet, I was on the edge of my seat with my heart beating hard in my chest as I experienced this true story. Several times, I had to remind myself that it wasn't a novel, but that it was, in fact, all real.
A few things that touched me the most about this book...
1. Kim De Blecourt didn't smooth over her struggles during her difficulties. She didn't paint herself to be anything that she wasn't. She honestly addressed her overwhelming emotions, outbursts, anger at God, etc. Really, her honesty just served to show God's Glory even more.
2. How raw she was about the realities of orphans in Eastern Europe. She didn't hold back. It broke my heart. My heart needed to be broken for them.
3. Kim never once took credit for anything good that happened in this story. She was very intentional about giving the Glory to God. You don't always see that in a book (even in the Christian market) such as this. She never once missed an opportunity to point to God.
This book moved me, made me tear up, showed me the power of Father has in this world. I highly recommend this book.

After doing almost no research on the adoption process in Ukraine, this woman suffers a series of events she mostly caused through her own actions, and then spends hundreds of pages complaining in detail about how horrible the culture is, how corrupt the system is, etc. The first time I was irritated is when the author describes when she leaves her purse in a train compartment with a total stranger, and then gets mad at her husband when the wallet is stolen because he hadn't booked first-class tickets. Uh, the wallet was stolen because you were stupid! The book is rife with this type of refusal to take accountability. I'm sorry to say, but she comes off as spoiled and naive, and completely unprepared to travel internationally, let alone tackle an international adoption in a country known for difficult adoptions.

A very engrossing read. Would have loved to see some photographs in this book! I would also have loved reading more about the background of this country and why it is the way it is. Though De Blecourt's story of Ukrainian adoption is more harrowing than most, I know (through the experience of friends') that it can be incredibly difficult sometimes to extricate a child from this country. Case in point, these friends of mine who have been trying to adopt a daughter, a teenager, for almost 3 years. As of this writing, I saw on Facebook this morning that they are selling some of their furniture, etc., in order to come up with the funds for yet another plane flight. Adoptions from here are not for the faint of heart. Thank goodness for those brave enough to do it.

As part of Kim's book launch team, I have the privilege of reading an advance copy of the book. Let me just tell you this...Kim's story is unbelievably touching, poignant, captivating and suspenseful. I literally read the entire book in 24 hours. I couldn't put it down. The trials and tribulations she and her family endured to adopt a child from Ukraine were harrowing. This is most assuredly the best book I've read this year. Journey with Kim and get ready to cry, laugh, cringe, pray, and cry some more. This book is a must-read!

Such an incredible woman who always believed in God.

Maybe it’s because I’ve met the author personally.
Maybe it’s because the child she fought to adopt in this riveting book happens to be in my son’s class class at school.
Or maybe it’s just because the account is utterly captivating in its own right.
Whatever the reason, I was completely taken by this woman’s story — a harrowing, true story of dedication and commitment to adopt her son from Ukraine.
In fact, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days.
Until We All Come Home by Kim de Blecourt drew me in from the first page. When the de Blecourt family embarked on their international adoption journey, nobody could have imagined all that they would have to endure.
With each chapter, they hit more and more roadblocks and setbacks. It was a spiritual battle as much as it was a battle with the Ukranian government. As I read the countless hardships and difficulties they faced, all on foreign territory, I was convinced that I would have given up. I would not have had the strength to persevere to the end. When I confessed this to Kim, she said, “It was all God. I would have said the same thing, that I couldn’t have done it. God was what got me through.”
What Kim and her husband Jahn thought would be a short jaunt across the ocean to adopt a child turned into an eleven-month-long nightmare. Jahn eventually had to resume his work in the States, leaving Kim alone in a non-English speaking country to continue the adoption process. Though he returned for two different visits for court appearances, Kim was largely on her own.
Until We All Come Home is the powerful testimony of God’s provision in the midst of a complicated web of corruption and spiritual warfare.
Once she finally returned back home with her newly adopted son, Kim realized the full effect that her experience had on her body, mind and spirit. She says she came home a different woman. After receiving counseling, Kim was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, so severe and traumatic was her prolonged experience.
By God’s grace, Kim has now recovered and is active in promoting adoption and the cause of orphans worldwide.

Honest. Stunning. Raw. Captivating. Challenging. Full of hope. These words describe Kim de Blecourt's book "Until We All Come Home." Kim shares the heart-wrenching story her family experienced in adopting a child from the former Soviet Union province, Ukraine. Jahn and Kim could be a neighbor, best friend or co-worker of any reader. Their journey began as a common experience of those seeking adoption. But one turn after another, one decision after another, one day after another brought them to places they never imagined from the comfort of their Michigan home before undertaking a Ukrainian adoption.
In sharing their journey, Kim details the unbelievable turn of events with honesty, poignancy, and grace. She brings the reader as a silent witness to their journey through sights, smells, sounds, and conversations. You can feel the remnants of Soviet influence in the bleak orphanage walls and unspoken corruption meeting them at every turn. Kim invites the reader into her private thoughts and feelings, bringing a sense of awe and respect for this family who could have turned back at any time. Instead, they clung to their faith, their commitment to an orphan, and commitment to themselves.
The de Blecourt's journey is not just a personal journey, it's an eye-witness account of human depravity and divine hope. It challenges the reader to trust a God that is bigger than circumstances. It inspires the human spirit to persevere when hope is gone. Until We All Come Home is a book which leaves the reader disappointed the story had to end because much was received while reading it. It's more than just an adoption story.
Until We All Come Hope should be in every church library. It should be the first non-fiction book a hesitant reader picks up. It should be in the hands of every person who has an adoptive child in their sphere of influence. It should be a gift to someone needing hope in a difficult situation. It's a book about a family full of honor and grace.

Until We All Come Home is a true account of one family’s journey to complete the calling to adopt a little boy from Ukraine. When Kim De Blecourt and her husband were called to adopt, little did they realize the year long adventure they were about to endure as a family in Ukraine. As I read through the true account of this mother's journey to bring her son home, I could not put her book down. I was emotionally drawn into her daily fight for her freedom and for her son.
Kim had to live in hiding with her son for several months in Ukraine. During her fight for her son, she was robbed, physically abused, lied to by doctors, arrested, and endured several health scares. Throughout her battles God provided every time. Friends from years ago, strangers, and locals who followed her journey became providers of shelter, food, friendship, prayer and love. The absolute love and determination to bring her son home safely paralleled God's love and determination to help her fulfill that goal. Deuteronomy 31:8, "with God before me, who can be against me," constantly rang in my head as Kim would only return when they could all go home as a family.
Her amazing journey and fight against a Soviet country and judicial system for one child was inspiring to me as a mother to four little ones. This book is a must read for all mothers and aspiring mothers. Her story illustrates God’s endless love for us and what He will do to help one mother and one orphan through their battles until they all go home.

“It was compassion that opened our hearts to adoption and it was love that made us stay, but it was God who brought us home.” - Kim de Blecourt
Each adoption story has its own challenges and joys, perhaps none more so than Until We All Come Home, uniquely wrought with stark and racking experiences as it recounts the powerful tale of the de Blecourt family’s adoption of their Ukrainian son. As the reader is drawn along with Kim de Blecourt for her year-long stay in the Ukraine, it’s difficult not to wonder just how much more one family can withstand. At each turn, however, the faithfulness of God is highlighted and lifted up. In essence, while Kim is the writer, Until We All Come Home is really God’s story of care for one orphan, one mother, one family, and the global network of people He placed around them to be His hands and feet when they were each most deeply in need.
Until We All Come Home is poignantly and captivatingly layered with fear and protection, need and provision, heart rending sadness and life altering joy. It is a fast-paced tale woven in such a way as to cause the reader to feel it a privilege to share in this very personal part of the de Blecourt family’s story.
Against the grey backdrop of Ukraine, God’s faithfulness shines. Until We All Come Home inspires the reader to resonate with Kim’s mother-heart, to treasure the orphan, and to delight in God’s care of His own. Pick it up; you’ll be glad you did.

I have received this book for free in exchange for an honest review
This in no way affects my opinion
Incredible! I started this book after my son went to bed last night, and I finished it before I went to bed. It completely held my attention, and I could not put it down! (Less than 7 hours of reading).
Kim`s story is one of courage and love for her children – even though oppossing forces are trying to keep one from going home with her.
Kim travels to Ukraine to adopt a child, with her husband and daughter, little does she know the amount of patience and effort it is going to take – or the expense – to bring the little boy home. Kim has a profound belief in God that helps her through it, and with incredible results.
This was an amazing, well written book, that I will highly recommend to anyone. Even if you do not believe in God, or a higher power, you should still read. Yes, it is a common element throughout the book, but it is not `pushed` upon the reader. It is one persons belief and experience being shared with another.
International adoption can be a tricky, challangeing, and expensive decision. But this book shows us, that even in situations that seem impossible, we can prevail and do what is truely right.
This is definately a book that I will be telling my friends to get. Thank you so much for sharing it with me.

I met Kim shortly after she returned from the Ukraine, or should I say escaped? The ordeal still embedded in her eyes, she told me the story of being underground in the former Soviet bloc country, trying to get home with the little boy she’d legally adopted. We’re spoiled here in America. Laws protect us (most of the time) from corrupt officials who use their offices for their own benefit at the expense of the helpless. Kim’s story is one of courage, true love, and a mom’s passion to help and protect the Ukrainian orphan she and her family grew to know and love. Somewhere along the way, the conflict became personal to a corrupt government official, and Kim’s flight became a race against politics and power in a foreign country.
Until We all Come Home is the story of Kim and her family’s love and passion. On the run in a country in which she didn’t speak or understand the language, those who helped her understood the love she had for her son, and a mother’s devotion to her children. Until We all Come Home reads more like a Tom Clancy novel . . . well . . . if Tom had been a mom. Only then could he have told this true story.
The book releases on November 6th, 2012, so don’t let the election get in the way of your trip to the book store. You can pre-order it now through all the major online book sellers.

This is the true account of one woman’s struggle to bring home to the USA the Ukrainian orphan she and her husband want to adopt.
Having fallen in love with little Sasha, the paperwork for his adoption goes horribly wrong when the Ukrainian government moves the goal posts. Where others would have given up, author Kim de Blecourt decides to stay and fight.
Almost single-handedly, she takes on a regime still creaking under the weight of former Soviet socialism. Through dogged endurance and her deep trust in God, she finally triumphs.
Woven into the pages of this book are encouraging little signs that the Ukraine is undergoing a transformation. She visits a new kids’ paradise called Pinocchio and a cool café. Austerity is melting and there is a chink hope for a brighter tomorrow for the whole country.
This is an exciting story of one woman and one little boy. Its message, however, is far-reaching for it confirms that the heart of the individual is stronger than a system that would eclipse the needs of the individual purely to sustain itself.

After meeting Kim De Blecourt, I knew I had to read her story of adoption. I have an adoption story and each adoption story has its own challenges and joys, and my story certainly did not have near the challenges addressed in Until We All Come Home. The book is filled with frustrating and bang-your-head-against the table experiences as it recounts the powerful tale of the de Blecourt family’s adoption of their Ukrainian son. I was drawn in as I read about De Blecourt's year-long stay in the Ukraine. I began to wonder just how much more one family can take.
Until We All Come Home is truly a story of care for one orphan, one mother, one family, and the network of people around them. Truly God was with them in this journey, through all the joys and heartache.
I cried and shared tidbits of this book with my family and students. It gave me a new insight to what a mother would do for her son to bring him home. They were truly meant to be a family.

As a mother, I've always imagined that I would do whatever I needed to do to protect my children. And I've had to face some difficulties with my kids and work through some situations that I never would have imagined. But nothing like what Kim and Jahn de Blecourt went through to bring their son home.
Their story is engaging from the first word. The pace of this book leaves you breathless as you eagerly turn each page to find out what happens next. Kim is honest about all of her emotions - even during the bleakest times - relating to all the doubts and fears parents face. Her bravery and perseverance allowed God to work in each situation to save her son.
The de Blecourts' story will inspire you to face your challenges with courage and to trust how God is working every step of the way. Keep a box of tissue handy, you will need it!

"Until We All Come Home" reads like an action-packed suspense novel but the knowledge that the story was lived out by Kim and her family makes this book astounding. Kim writes with honesty and emotion that will put you on the edge of your seat one moment and leave you feeling emotionally exhausted the next.
As an adoptive mom I am not naive to the complications and complexities of international adoption. But Kim's story is unlike any other. Her determination and courage in the fight to bring Jake home no matter the cost is inspiring. Her faith, and God's hand throughout her time in the Ukraine is a testimony to His love for the fatherless and us.

I was honored to be a part of Kim's book launch team. I had no idea how much I would enjoy this book and the amazing journey that Kim and her family went on. I don't know that I could have found the strength to continue at certain times.
Her book is an exciting, thrilling journey of adoption. Not only does it show the resolve and determination of Kim and her family, but it is a perfect example of God's provision. The people and the circumstances that He prepared for them was thrilling to read.
I felt like I was reading a spy novel and was sometimes in awe of her courage. I highly recommend this book.

November 2, 2015What a raw captivating story. I could not put this book down and I didn't. I read it in a day and a half. I cannot fathom going through everything that Kim de Blecourt went through in order to adopt that precious little boy from the Ukraine and still keeping my sanity and faith in God. I hate to admit but I'm afraid that my faith would have been tested and that I might have been questioning his existence. She might have questioned his reasoning but never his existence and his love for her and her family. I hope that this family find many wishes lot of love but most importantly that they are able to always keep hat faith inside of their heart.

“As an adoptive mom, Kim’s story touches my heart in a deep a powerful way. I can not begin to imagine living this story. I’ve been blessed to know Kim and she’s shared at a couple of our local Praise and Coffee events. I think the most memorable moment was when at the end of the evening her husband showed up with the kids and Jake ran right through the crowd and up to the stage to grab his Momma. Oh yeh, I lost it.

A stunning account of an American woman in a foreign country fighting for what God told her was HERS! This book is so captivating that I read it in one day! I was fortunate enough to receive an advance copy of the book. I decided to take a nice hot bath yesterday and start the book. I could. not. put. this. book. down. I had to refill the tub with hot water twice! The raw emotion that Kim De Blecourt writes with...the stunningly honest sharing of her fear, anger, exhaustion, faith, tenacity...makes this a story I won't soon forget! Bravo!

This book is a must read for those who are looking into international adoption and want to know how not to do it. This author tries to get you to feel sorry for her plight through the entire book, but honestly, I ended up questioning her decisions as she moved through an adoption gone really wrong. I could not believe her husband or family left her in Ukraine to go into hiding and practically try to adopt a child illegally. I felt the story was over dramatic and clearly is a tale of the dark side of adoption.
October 22, 2012
I received an advance copy as part of her launch team. I was very curious to read it read it and I was captivated from the first page. It was hard to put down because the story was so intriguing. It was very suspenseful and eye opening. I never would have guessed that anyone would ever have to go through such an ordeal to adopt a child. She writes it in such a way that the reader feels like she is right there, going through the ordeal with her. This is a real story of courage and perseverance!

Until We All Come is a story with many principles, but the most important of these is love. This is a perfect book for someone adopting, or just going through a hard time. This book shows what happens when you put your full faith in God. Yes, sometimes we fall into despair, but God patiently waits for us to come back to him.

Passion? Check. Suspense? Check. Grace? Check. This book is a MUST READ! Kim de Blecourt is willing to stop at nothing to bring her son home as she fights a corrupt system and problems at every turn. God's grace, faithfulness and promises proved true throughout the whole ordeal and today her son rests in her arms thanks to a mother's unending love! This is your next favorite book!

"Until We All Come Home" is a true story that reads like a suspense novel. Kim's trip to adopt, expected to last a few weeks, evolved into a journey of nearly a year. Yet despite the obstacles and hardships, God's faithfulness shines through. It's definitely a must-read, so enthralling I could hardly put it down.

You will want to read this book. I was given an advanced reader copy by Kim and could not put it down. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and yell in frustration. This book has it all. Don't be surprised if it is turned into a movie!

Wow! This true story is definitely a page turner! I read it in a very short amount of time since I just couldn't put the book down. The title describes the book the best.....a harrowing journey, a mother's courage, and a race to freedom!
