Bloomfield is a place we could all call home. Here, the residents enjoy a splash fountain in the town square, dine at the "Fancy Schmantsy" on tree-lined Main Street, and dream of reaching the 10,000 population mark --- only 22 more folks to go! The Bloomfield Garden Club, an all-ages group of lovable oddballs that will stop at nothing to make everything beautiful, maintains this piece of heaven on earth. But even such idyllic places as this have their share of dramatic characters and
stories to be told.

When Kim de Blecourt and her husband decided to adopt a child from Ukraine, nothing could have prepared them for the twisted nightmare they would endure.

Her fear and loneliness drove her to the brink of spiritual despair, but God had no intention of abandoning her or her family. Her amazing story offers dramatic proof that God's light shines on even in the deepest darkness.
