Found this on a fellow bloggers site, thanks Aime. A good question to ask oneself, especially when others are asking you why you are adopting. We felt called to increase our family, why not give a child a home that doesn't have one. Especially a child from another country who has less than we do. As a Christian this is what we are called to do, care for the orphans, love our neighbor, witness to others and be obedient to our God. Investing in a life of a child, sharing the good news with them, loving them as God first loved us. I can't wait to bring our son home, until then I am serving Him the best way I know how, holding babies in the NICU and serving in my church, being a wife and mother, teaching my biological children about the love and faithfulness of our God.
Reality check, I am not perfect but God will complete his work in my life and sanctify me as I grow as a godly woman. Yes I need work on many areas in my life, and with God's grace and forgiveness, the help of the Holy Spirit there is still hope for me yet! Enjoy this great testimony.
