Adoption

I "stole" this from another blog I was reading and thought it was great. I can definitely relate!

You know you are an adoptive mother (or you should be!) if:

~ The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to kiss them goodnight has ever made you lose sleep.

~ You realize DNA has nothing to do with love and family.

~ You can't watch Adoption Stories on TLC without sobbing.

~ The fact that if 7% of Christians adopted 1 child, there would be no orphans in the world is convicting to you.

~ You spend free time surfing blogs about families who have experienced the blessing of adoption.

~ It drives you crazy when people ask you about your adopted child's "real" parents.

~ You have ever been "pregnant" with your adoptive child longer than it takes an elephant to give birth.

~ You had no idea how you would afford to adopt but stepped out in faith anyway knowing where God calls you He will provide.

~ You have ever taken a airplane ride half way around the world with a child you just met.

~ You believe God's heart is for adoption.

~ You realize that welcoming a child into your heart and family is one of the most important legacy's you could ever leave on this earth.

~ You shudder when people say your child is so lucky that you adopted them, knowing full well you are the blessed one to have them in your life.

~ You know what the word Dossier means and you can actually pronounce it!

~ You have welcomed a social worker into the most private parts of your life.
