Sometimes, the greatest gift is a second chance at family.

At three years old, Robby faces rejection from his birth mother and the harsh reality of life in an orphanage. For two years, he endures the emotional rollercoaster of trial days with potential parents, only to be returned each time.

But when Catherine chooses to adopt him, she offers more than just a home. She offers hope.

As Robby grows, so do the challenges. His early trauma shapes his personality, leading him from a mischievous boy into a free-spirited young man. With Catherine’s unwavering support, he discovers the strength to forge his own path—one in which he can belong, adventure, and eventually gain reconciliation with his past.

Inspired by true events, A Hand for Me is a deeply moving exploration of the transformative power of adoption and the unbreakable bond of a mother’s commitment.

Diane M. Dresback’s story will touch your heart and renew your faith that unconditional love can heal even the deepest wounds. It reminds us that family is not defined by blood but by the choices we make and the love we share.
