Our Truth - April 15

The Joint Council on International Children's Services has dubbed today "We Are the Truth - adoption blogger day" in an effort to recognize adoption success stories from around the world and share the truth about adoption. You can read more about this here.

There is so much I could write about the adoption of our girls, so many feelings I have surrounding this special aspect of my role as a mother. I especially love the picture adoption paints of our spiritual lives. Adoption is a deliberate choice...it's not something that just happens. It is something that is planned, prayed about and pursued with your whole heart. This is such a beautiful picture of what God did for each of us...He chose us and pursued us with His whole heart.


We have been, and continue to be, richly blessed because of adoption...our family would not be complete without our girls. Sure there are challenges, but that is the nature of parenting. Ultimately, adoption is a miracle, one that I am so blessed to be part of every single day.
