My Dedication
Any of you who have been long time readers of this blog know beyond a shadow of a doubt how wonderfully adoption has touched my life. Although in my early twenties I had absolutely no vision of a house full of children, now I can't imagine my life without them, and maybe more.
November is National Adoption Month. I have decided that each post I write this month will be on the topic of adoption. I'll take a look at the good, the not so good, the easy and the difficult. I'll explore the many facets of adoption, and I will share some amazing stories.
I will have some guest posts, and I will link you to lots and lots of resources to answer any questions you may have about adoption. I'll try to post some pictures of children that are waiting for their families, and maybe I can even get an interview with one of those children.
Even if you are not starting this month with any thought that adoption will one day touch your life, I ask that you still read my posts. Perhaps if not you, a family member, a co-worker or a close friend will consider adoption, and you will be able to understand and maybe even help them as they progress through their journey of finding a new addition to their family.
17 years ago, I was led down a path about which I had no understanding. I just knew that I needed to follow that leading. Again this month I feel led to dedicate this month to adoption. The first leading changed my life in glorious ways. Maybe, just maybe my posts this month will reveal a leading and a glorious change for your life!
I am looking forward to your posts. My family (me + 6th, 4th, 2nd graders) was built through adoption.
