Book Reviews

I receive calls on my show all the time about how you have to go into debt to adopt. Julie Gumm is living proof and a testament to the fact you can adopt without ANY debt. I highly recommend reading “Adopt Without Debt” if you are considering adoption.
Dave Ramsey, Best-selling author, national speaker and nationally syndicated talk radio host

I’ve been waiting for a book like this for almost a decade now. The reality has been that finances are often the biggest obstacle to adopting a child. Thanks to Julie Gumm that reality is going to change. Adopt Without Debt should be read by every prospective adoptive couple. It’s that helpful.”
Dan Cruver, Director of Together for Adoption

At Project HOPEFUL we often receive letters from families who desire to adopt but are concerned about funding. I highly recommend Adopt Without Debt as a must-read for any adoptive parent looking to discover creative ways to afford their adoption. The ideas in this book work!”
Carolyn Twietmeyer, Founder & Executive Director of Project HOPEFUL

Adopting a child without going into debt really is possible. We have families that do it every day (and you can, too!). Julie’s book “Adopt Without Debt” is packed with resources, fresh income raising ideas and cost-saving spending habits – all of which are delivered by an author with successful first-hand experience and a heart for the widow and the orphan. Highly recommended!
Jennifer Newcomb, Communications Coordinator with Children’s Hope International

The story she tells in this book of getting debt-free and affording adoption in the process is inspirational. If you’re wondering how your family might be able to afford to adopt, this book might very well provide some new insight. (Read more.)

Julie makes the cost of adoption manageable and, prayerfully, “Adopt Without Debt” will allow many more families to embark on this incredible journey. Great resource for any family in the adoption process.
Emily Alexander – adoptive mom, orphan advocate, founder – Hope for Dube Bute

Her style is friendly and the book is an easy read that got me excited about fundraising and trying out her creative ideas. As someone who hates to ask for money or sell anything that is saying something!…The tips and ideas are worth reading by themselves, but the excitement it causes is worth much more than the $11.99 selling price.

Most of all though, this book was so encouraging. Sometimes, I look at the debt we face because of student loans and living on one paycheck and wonder if it will ever go away. Reading Gumm’s story reminded me that yes, it is possible. (Read more.)

In all honesty, this book is filled with many wonderful fundraising ideas and feasible tips for saving money. Lots of the ideas were things I would never think of! Karaoke night?  Zumba classes? Who knew! (Read more.)

Workshop Reviews

“We were thrilled to have Julie at our seminar in Birmingham. She has so much wisdom and insight to offer families considering the adoption process and those in the middle of it. We were overwhelmed by the attendance at our event and thrilled to hear from our families how Julie’s presentation encouraged them and inspired them to use her methods in their own adoption stories. This seminar was so effective. we are ready to book her for another event next year!
Kate Anderson, Lifeline Children’s Services
