Your insights always leave me encouraged, and you truly have a godly voice. I especially like this post. One of my very best friends and her husband are unable to have children and they are prayerfully going to be starting the journey of adoption shortly. I am overjoyed for them, but she's encountered some of the same negative reactions that you have described. Growing up, Leah had many friends from church who were adopted, and her cousin actually married her brother's best friend who was adopted. :o) Still, not even all of her family members are supportive of her decision. It seems that they'd rather her risk her health to conceive biologically or just "accept" that she's "not supposed to be a mother". Jesus wasn't Joseph's biological child, per se, and He is the greatest Child ever born. Whether a mother bears a child from her womb or not, every child is born from his mother's heart just as we're all the children of God - adopted by our earthly parents from his heavenly Kingdom.<BR/><BR/>God bless you and your family, Kim! Hope that you're having a wonderful week...hooray for it already being Wednesday! ;o)Kelly @ The Barefoot Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048721787666752247noreply@blogger.com
