Today's Blog Every Day in May topic: Something you read online. Link & discuss.
Adoption. To most of us, that word seems so romantic and special. It brings to mind thoughts of welcoming an abandoned child into your arms, loving them and giving them a home. That is certainly how I thought of it. Then I discovered Nancy's blog, Ordinary Miracles and the Crazy 9, and her stories of adoption and the journey she's been on with her three kiddos opened my eyes to what adoption really can be like. This post was a very raw look at how heart-wrenching, wonderful, awful, and beautiful adoption can be. It made me stop and take a deep look at myself to ask whether I would actually be willing to go through with that. Honestly, I don't know if I could. I still think adoption is a beautiful thing, and it is an incredible opportunity to share God's love, but it is not all sunshine and rainbows. I hope that I would trust God enough to be okay with that.
