What’s behind the scenes? That’s the question I’ve learned to ask. Although I have to admit, sometimes I ask it later than I should.
Being disrespectful?
What’s behind the scenes…
Glaring at me? Rolling of the eyes?
What’s behind the scenes…
Having a short fuse?
Tuesday Testimony is an opportunity for us to share some of our grant recipient's testimonies. May you be blessed by their stories. We knew we wanted to build our family through both biological children and adoption. When we found out we were pregnant with our first child, our adoption was put on hold. Requirements soon changed and we were allowed to continue our...
Have you heard of babywearing? Prior to adopting our daughter, I had not heard the term. I had seen people with their babies hanging off the front of them in Baby Bjorn carriers, and maybe a few granola moms with their babies in what's called a ring sling, but babywearing? What in the world is that? I should state for the record that I consider myself to be a bit of a granola mom. We eat as much organic as...
The conversation about ethics and international adoption has been raging since an EJ Graff article entitled, "The Lie We Love" came out in 2008. This article has been hotly debated in adoption circles as well as in Christian circles since then. A recent article in the same vein recently appeared in The Nation entitled, "The Evangelical Adoption Crusade " by Kathryn Joyce. This article has also been lighting up social media, blogs and conversations since it appeared...
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10 Your attitude should be the same as...
Tuesday Testimony is an opportunity for us to share some of our grant recipient's testimonies. May you be blessed by their stories. I have had a passion for adoption and caring for the orphan all of my life. I really think this stems from the fact that I was adopted and I always saw adoption as God’s plan for my life to get me to my family and ultimately, into His family. I married a man that I knew...
Music is sort of a foreign field to me. I took piano lessons and sang in choirs… oh, and there was that 1-year stint with my nemesis, Clarinet. But beyond the basics, I’m not too knowledgeable. However, when my 9-year-old is practicing her piano lesson, I can recognize a perfectly plucked melody… and my teeth grit when a disharmonious chord is struck. I much prefer the former of the two. I appreciate notes that meld...
I shouldn't be surprised. After all, Kayden has never been afraid to ask questions, and I've known for six and a half years this one would eventually come. So why did I stammer when today she said, "You're the best mom ever. The one who had me, did she love me?" Oh, my heart. I would love nothing more than to look into her beautiful eyes and tell...
My husband and I have adopted four children two and under and when we go on walks, we literally stop traffic. People literally slow down to stare at our family. (I’m sure those who have adopted know what I mean!). Anytime we go anywhere, people feel the liberty to stop us and tell us we are crazy for adopting four kids who are so young. But the truth is...
Tuesday Testimony is a time when we focus on testimonies of some of our grant recipients. May you be blessed by their stories. Believing strongly that children are a blessing from the Lord, we knew early in our marriage that we wanted to begin growing our family. In God's sovereignty, He allowed us to struggle with infertility as a means to open our eyes to the joys of adoption. Through the teachings at our church, observing...
