"Upsetting the "normal" while creating the beautiful." Annette Kruschek |
Why would you allow to inflict pain and possible loss upon yourself and your children? Why would you risk it again, get out of the boat again, enter deep waters again... why? Where will you find the time? Where will the extra finances come from? When will it be enough?
Where, why, how? Adoption is about family. A forever family. Opening up your home, your heart, your everything for someone who is waiting to be loved. A child waiting. It's truly that simply for me, for my husband, and for our children. A little boy waiting has captured our hearts. He is loved. He is ours and we are his. The road has suddenly become narrow, steep and uncertain. The destination is worth it because the wait will soon be over for this little one... we are coming!!! I promise that the questions you may have are legitimate but please understand that every family has been given a different path in life. Ours may look very different from the mainstream but I assure you that God has promised us that he is paving the way. We need to do what we have in the past... trust and rely on our faith. Everything we have is truly just on loan. God is watching to see what we are doing with the gifts that we have been given. I don't want to waste a moment of my life saying, "I wonder what would have happened if..." or " I wish we would have but...". Being scared is okay in life. Some of my best gifts in life have come by stepping out in faith. In order to be faithful people we must continue to take the first steps, no matter how uncertain they may be. That is why it is called faith. How God chose us and found our little boy is another post. God is in the details. Six months of details that he has sprinkled along our path. Each little disappointment, delay, and sign led us to saying YES to this sweet little one. Stay tuned friends... cuz the apple cart just got a bit more full! I leave tomorrow for China. I will be advocating for children who wait for a family. Our son will no longer wait on this list. Could you possibly have a child waiting for you? I encourage you to follow my journey. Please pray for me since I will be leaving China empty handed. Our son will not be able to come home yet. Our family is praying that the paperwork and the process goes smoothly and quickly.
