At the first orientation meeting I ever attended at CCAI ( my adoption agency--which is wonderful, by the way---see attached link) an opening comment was made that nearly stopped my heart. The agency director said....."You are now paper pregnant.......But instead of your belly growing out, your paper stack will grow up". It was BALM to my soul.
We have chosen to adopt a child from China because there are thousands upon thousands of baby girls in that country who have been relinquished by biological parents who were unable to care for them.
We need a child, and there is a little girl in an institution that needs a mom and dad. This for us is a match made in heaven, and I cant help but believe that God is smiling a crinkle eyed smile to see people on opposite sides of the planet meet the need for family in such an extraordinary way.
