What people are saying about When God Said No:

“This is a must read for adopted children as well as those who have adopted children. Being an adopted child myself, I struggle with separation anxiety because there wasn’t an understanding of the deep wound one experiences at birth when separated from his or her birth mother. This book is moving and funny and even allows their children to speak and give testimony to what it’s like being in an adopted family. The care and concern Bob and Lisa took to connect each adopted child with their birth families, foster families, and heritage reveals how their faith informed their actions to be empathetic and compassionate to each person who loved these children along the way and to continue to be a part of their lives. This unselfish act of love is how I believe God loves us and calls us to love each other. Bob and Lisa have given us their beautiful journey of how God takes what we see as suffering and turns it into joy that is beyond our dreams."

“If you’re anything like me, this book will keep you laughing, move you to tears, and leave you contemplating God’s plan for your life as well.  Open, honest, and real, Bob and Lisa Perron pour their hearts out on paper and take you inside their journey to a God-sized family with all the twists and turns.  A great reminder for everyone that God’s ways are perfect, even in the ‘noes and ‘not yets.”

“Bob and Lisa Perron are wonderful storytellers. As adoptive parents who struggled with infertility in the early part of our marriage, this book hits really close to home. When God Said No is heartfelt, encouraging, and simply a beautiful memoir of the Perron family experience. You will laugh. You will cry. You will connect.”
