A Place at the Table

Early on in our adoption journey, a well-meaning person told me she wished that Craig and I could have one of our own children some day.  After I picked up my jaw from the floor and before I turned Hulk on her, I thought to myself, “She doesn’t get it.”
 
As we prepare for the finalization of Isaac’s adoption, I am reminded of this naivety.  She didn’t understand that adoption describes how you enter a family.  It is neither a label nor an indicator of how someone is valued.  Imagine sitting down to dine with a family that has adopted.  Certainly the parents wouldn’t use an introduction like, “These are my sons Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John- he’s adopted.”  I point out the silliness of this, because adoption is every part of having a family of your own.

    I am an adopted daughter of Christ sharing how God is at work as we grow our family through adoption.

    I pray that I can begin to express in words how God's been at work in our lives.  I pray that He will be glorified as we share with others.  I pray for you! I pray that as you read this you will see God at work in your own life and that  your relationship with Him will be blessed.
