The joy of adoption

I know that God is in control of all things in our lives. About 12 years ago I was facing life as a women who wanted children very badly but could not have them. It was a time of great sorrow in my life because I could not understand why God would give me this great desire in my heart but take away my ability to have children. I never doubted he had a plan. I just didnt understand it. Fast Foward 12 years, I am the mother of not one child but 4.... when God blesses... he blesses big! Not only that but I have fostered an additional 4 children. Thats eight children that have been in my home and I have "mothered" back 12 years ago I could not have imagined I would be so blessed. I believe God calls some of us to the wonderful process of adoption. It is after all what he does for each of us when we accept him as savior.
My family has once again been blessed. My brother and sister in law are in the process of adopting a sweet little 4 year old boy. God has chosen them to be his parents and us to be his family. I am so excited about the common bond of adoption that our children will share. I am so happy to have a new nephew.
I praise God for the blessing and priviledge of Adoption.
