Many years ago...driving to work I saw a banner strung across a bridge. There was only one word "adoption" but it meant so much to me. It pushed me to seek out answers in my life that I needed to find and move forward. It's amazing what a word can do...how it can influence your life.
And then last night I sat in front of the computer watching video clips of this sweet little boys birth. So many emotions and memories came flooding back as I watched. Without that one word he may never have come into my life. How thankful I am for a girl who was guided by that same word. That made a difficult decision and had an incredible amount of love for an unborn baby. I am so thankful every day for her and love her so much.
This year I want to take part in this challenge. I want to make an extra effort to write more about adoption...how it's influenced me...and what it means to me. It's important.
This little boy is now almost 5 and has started asking more about his birth. It's always been something we've been open about with him, but now he is starting to understand a little bit more about what adoption really means. It's tough for a little boy to really understand his own story. It's been awhile since he's seen his birth movie, so maybe we'll have to sit down and watch it with him this week. Don't all kids just love seeing themselves as babies!!
This month is special to me.
