"Twice Chosen" by Nina Locke

Twice Chosen, by Nina Locke, is a family memoir of being adopted twice—first chosen by God and later chosen by adoptive parents. Her story reveals how those two acts impacted her life. She often wondered, “Where would I be if a personal God had not revealed Himself to me in His providential ways?” This powerful memoir weaves excerpts from personal journals and generational stories stretching across three continents. Twice Chosen is a journey of two searches: first to fill Nina’s inner emptiness and secondly to find her adopted sister—after a separation of fifty years. The story continues as Nina encounters life’s challenges of loss, disappointment, and her husband’s Alzheimer’s.
