I tried to adopt for about 2.5 years (prior to having a bio child), but it just didn't work out and I finally had to face the realization that there were other plans for my life. I often see conspicuous adoptive families out and about....and I catch myself smiling and watching them. It isn't out of fears or questions or gawking to mock, it is because I'm picturing the life I THOUGHT was supposed to be mine. I still think about the many faces I saw on all the special focus lists, and I feel very relieved when I see that there is one less on the list and one more with their loving families.

I think people are trying to figure out how we got her and so forth. I don't mind the questions. I see it as an opportunity to educate them. God is using you for his purposes which is to show other love has no boundries.likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.com
