About Me
- heidi r weimer
- Nashville, Tennessee
- I am a 30-something nose-ringed mom to ten-going-on-something stellar kids (4 via my belly and 6 via adoption from Ethiopia), wife to one heroic husband, children's book author, lover of justice, adoption promoter, and sold-out follower of Jesus. My mantra: "My life is not my own." And one day that will be my tattoo. Maybe.

I don't know if I've ever CRIED through a movie trailer before.
Seriously? Tears!

This is based on a true story from my hometown. The couple put the young man in private school and he received a scholarship to Ole Miss. He was just drafted to the NFL.
November! yeah, he was #1 draft pick 2009!
I loved this book! I didn't know they were making it into a movie. I can't wait to see it!
I wish I was coming to the conference in October. I read about your story on the Abba Fund blog. I want to thank you for inspiring other families. We are waiting for a sibling group of two to join our family of five, from Ghana. I LOVE the brown shirts your family is wearing. Where can we get them? Thank you!!
wow, I cried through that whole trailer!
Oh my goodness, Heidi. I haven't heard anything about this movie, but now I am counting down the days until it comes out! Thank you so much for sharing this trailer.
