A couple weeks ago I realized that my two sweet babies will be graduating from high school in just a couple of short years. And then I will be 40. That's still young. It really is y'all!!!!! :) And then what will I do?
For years I've said I wanted to adopt. But I did nothing. The timing was bad, we didn't have everything perfect, we had our own kids to think of. Excuses, excuses, excuses. And another holiday season is upon us and I'm starting to hear that Stephen Curtis Chapman song "All I Really Want For Christmas" yet again, I cry every time I hear it. How many more years will I cry through that song - without doing anything? *sigh*
We met with a financial planner and she said to me, "I can tell you are very family oriented. It's really nice. I can see you adopting a bunch of babies."
A Facebook friend adopted a baby from Ethiopia. I cried happy tears.
We started to open up the conversation with our two girls - and saw their excitement and listened to their ideas and hopes, and also their comfort zones and fears.
I had been looking at adoption sites online. I know I want a sibling group. I really want three boys.
On Saturday we went to Murray's office Christmas Party. There was a gift exchange and I got a gift that wasn't even really for me. But it truly was. It was a necklace with a pendant shaped like a nest. With three blue eggs in it. Wow. Really God, did you make that just for me?
