With any adoption there is a vision, a death and a resurrection. I love looking back and seeing the hand of the lord in our story. Although that is Easier said when the result is in front of you.
Last month while at work I was heart broken when I noticed my jade bracelet that I bought with the intention of wearing it every single day until i gave it away to my daughter on her wedding day, was laying broken on the floor. I was crushed wondering how and why this could happen. My dear husband awoke the next morning eagor to share that he lay awake figuring out that the only reason could be that it broke in two because a second child was ready!
I lack in patients but during this waiting stage It has been revealed to me that we are being prepared for another family member. Our hearts are open and our guest room has transformed into a little boys room. It is full of family memories and trinkets of both Johns dad and my dads. We mutually agree that when john and I pass we will leave behind little money but an entire legacy through the chance we provided in our adopted children. I know that I won't be living in regret wishing I would have done it again if...
John informed me that If we can afford it he wants 3-5 Chinese kids in our forever family. I say let's get thru the 2nd and to be careful what you ask for. With several files of little boys reviewed so far we have not come across our next family member. In waiting my greatest hope is that I can be used to encourage someone else to follow our path in adoption. I trust in the lords great plan and anxiously wait for that to be revealed. We are ready to share the love we have for a little orphan boy waiting in China for us.
Stay tuned:)
