I think that in the beauty of adoption and caring for children that aren't your own, the pain involved is overlooked. I pray that as your son grows he isn't overwhelmed with the thoughts that I know can overtake someone living with people other than their biological families, but that he is overwhelmed by how much your family was imcomplete without him. Thank God for families like yours and mine. I think about my parents every day- I wonder if I look like my father.

It may be scarey, and there may be times along the way when you ask, "why am I doing this?" but keep pushing through! When you hold that child in your arms and they call you momma/daddy for the first time.....you will wonder what took you so long to adopt. Remember that you are not alone in the adoption world!

I feared that as I kiss my son's face good-night and whisper, "in my arms, in your heart" I was going crazy. Being an adoptive parent has the joy that no-one can imagine, yet the fear that no-one wants to imagine! Thank You for showing us that we are not going crazy, that we are in this wonderful, crazy ride with loved ones! Thank You!!
