An adoption friend, Laurie at Adoption Creates Families just welcomed their fourth child, a daughter, into their family and reading these words that she wrote in a recent blog post brought tears to my eyes:
There is something about having a newly born baby that looks nothing like you but is so
much a part of you, that makes me just stand in awe of how great our God is. My body
could not have ever produced this child. Yet the Lord saw fit for my body to produce no children, so that these children could be mine. It really brings tears to my eyes and a huge lump in my throat that I have to swallow many times a day when I reflect upon His goodness and mercy. There were many times 5 years ago, when I asked God why He had forsaken me. Now I look at my overflowing cup and ask God why He loves me so much to have handpicked me to live such an extraordinary life.
