Jeff & I graduated from our adoption IMPACT training course!! We have also completed our health screenings & have the paperwork complete for that. It's so exciting to have these baby steps complete.
Baby steps. Steps towards our baby.
The other day I was trying to explain to a friend why I chose adoption versus other options (besides the fact that God has brought us to this). I realized how difficult it is to explain to someone in completely different shoes than I- how God has brought me to this place of total non-judgement for the birth mother & absolute thankfulness for her.
Thankfulness for her selfless act of love. An act of love which will make me a mother. Do you get how amazing that is? I am sure that I cannot wrap my heart around that, not being a mother yet. Not fully understanding her sacrifice, yet understanding in that as much as I long to be a mother, I could not foresee myself giving up a precious child. It is truly a beautiful & wonderful gift.
I stumbled upon this video today & had to share with you. I had no idea Mark Schultz was adopted. Please watch with tissues in hand.
