It’s me again… I just couldn’t help but reply once more as I looked at your adoption timeline. Isn’t God amazing… Bethany was born November 2004! God had such amazing plans for our two families. It reminds me of Jeremiah 29:11.

Sara, after going through some 800 plus emails, I came across an email from Heather who sent me the url for your blog. I’ve been sitting here for the past hour emmersed in your world… crying and laughing as I can soooooooo relate!

Just thought you might enjoy this little tibit as well. We adopted Bethany September 2005! Isn’t God awesome! Now if we can only get others to see and hear what we have seen and heard!

Thank you for sharing your heart. My friend introduced me to your blog and I love it. We are in the beginning processes of an African adoption and cannot wait to bring home our little ones. I feel like I’m reading how my life will be.

Okay, as I sit in Ukraine, I admit – adoption is ADDICTING. To KNOW that something is SO on the heart of God and then be able to PARTICIPATE with Him! How cool is that! Love you a TON!

God bless! Your blog is a ministry to me, you know. I get it about wanting to go back. (I guess it’s why we are going back.) We are so thankful for the opportunity. God bless you all!

Sara,

I came across your blog through a friend of a friend and encouraged through your words. I am an absurdly blessed adoptee with a wonderful family but can only cringe when my parents are praised for their “good works” — I am not a charity! While I also find much encouragement in scripture such as Isaiah 1:17, James 1:27, etc, I am sorely critical of Christians who ignorantly approach adoption from this place. Adoption is about parents desiring children and delighting in those children just as Christ desires us and delights in us – and even when we fail to love back!

Wow, I just had to post a comment. I just joined IAN recently & have been perusing blogs. Your words are beautiful, your heart is beautiful, your family is beautiful! It is amazing how God reveals our mommy hearts & then waits for us to embrace that calling. Sounds like you are embracing it!
