Question #13

Question #13  Will N know that he's adopted?


Well, if you haven't read some of my previous questions, then you might need to.  If you have, you will know that, sooner or later, he will realize that his skin color doesn't really match up with ours.  :)  It's not like we can keep that a secret forever.

We do plan on letting him know about his adoption.  It's an awesome story of how God had it planned out for him to be a part of our family, how we loved him even before we knew he existed.  We want him to know about J and her love for him and her desire for him to have more than what she can provide.  We have no intention of hiding his story from him.  He has the right to know, to know about the ways that God worked for him to be our son and to know about the many people that prayed for him.

At the same time, I won't walk around introducing him as my adopted child, just as a mother wouldn't introduce her son as her biological son or her c-section son.  When he becomes a part of our family, he will be our son, just as if I had carried him for nine months in my own body.  He is not our last resort option, or second best.  God just had other plans for us when it came to adding to our family than the normal old fashioned way and that other plan was a perfect plan that only He could put together.

Today's Prayer:  Pray that we will hear from the attorney soon and get a c-section date.  J is transferring her medical info to the hospital (that's closer to our house) and that is why it is taking a while to get all of the specifics nailed down.  

Tomorrow's Question:  Is there something special you can share about this match?
