What Is Real and the Journey to Find It is a true story of one woman's quest for a child and the different paths it took to accomplish it. It takes a walk through the valleys of life to reach the mountaintop. It is a "life lesson" that "messy situations" exist, and by navigating them with God's help, an outcome can be reached way beyond human expectations. Susy Riggle led a busy, happy life. After marriage, college, and working in education, she and her husband had a little boy. Soon, three years had gone by. She wanted another baby but was conflicted about just how this little one would come about. Something in her spiritual life urged her to pursue a baby, but not in the biological sense. Even with much time, work, and prayer invested, this seemed to go nowhere. Many adoption possibilities were pursued but to no avail. An attempt to have another biological child also ended in failure. Then through a strange "coming together" of events, a path to Chicago was found, and things fell into place.
