There is so much to be said for this situation. It's easy to get caught up in judging the birth mother. There's a lot of negative aspects we could focus on. What I want you to remember most, above all other things, is that she chose LIFE for her baby. It may have been last minute, she may have made mistakes along the way, but in the end, she didn't have to choose us, she didn't have to give birth to Piper, she could've gone the easier route. But she chose to keep her kids together and reach out for help from the right people. I will never be able to thank her enough for giving me another chance to raise a newborn from birth, as my own.
Please watch our story with an open mind.
I am so happy for you guys and I am so proud of you for being such amazing parents and adoptive parents. These kids were born in your heart and that is a precious gift.

ReplyDeleteWell...I cried through most of this😊. Mostly because I'm so proud of the woman you grew up to be and admiration of God's love and His plan. But also because this is such an in-my-face reminder that I have to choose daily to truly, completely give all aspects of my life to God and if I don't have what I wanted in life its because He has a different plan for me. I have have faith and give up control and be patient. I never thought ay 39 I would be divorced with no kids of my own, and barely having a relationship with step kids who I have loved as my own from the first time I met them; all not by my choice. It's easy to wonder why but I know that there is a reason. I look at your family and it gives me hope for the future. It's not easy to see all of these women having abortions and kids who are in homes with abusive parents and think "God, why did you give kids to those people who don't even want then but not to me when I want them so badly?!?" But when I see or hear of situations like yours I realize that God sometimes uses things we don't understand and can't rationslize and people we don't expect to give us what we need. It's up to me to prepare my heart, mind, spirit and even body to be where I need to be to hear Him and obey. Thanks for the reminder and congrats on your beautiful Piper...maybe oh your way back to NC you can stop back in Meade so I can meet everyone 😚
