Synopsis
What happens when a family says “yes” to nineteen children?
Over several decades, Rob and Carolyn Masten adopted nineteen children—most in sibling groups. Each arrived with histories of abuse, neglect, fractured attachment, and disrupted trust.
What followed was not a sentimental story of rescue. It was a decades-long adventure of love, leadership, structure, exhaustion, recalibration, and perseverance.
What’s One More?! is a rare long-view adoption memoir told from multiple perspectives—mother, father, and the now adult children—reflecting on what helped, what hurt, and what endured.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- The realities of integrating small and large sibling groups
- Parenting children with trauma histories and special needs
- Leadership principles applied inside a multifaceted family
- What no home study can predict
- How adoption outcomes unfold—not just in childhood, but into adulthood
- Honest reflections on mistakes, discipline, faith, resilience, and repair
- Insights into harmonious family living
Structurally a memoir, but functionally a resource for adoptive parents, foster families, blended families, and social workers, this book will help readers understand adoption beyond the placement decision.
If learning from the organized chaos that is large family living, by the parents and children who lived it, then this book is for you.
