Thank you for your honesty, Amy. Often we try to pretend we are handling it all just fine because we are ashamed to admit we are not. But your honesty helps other women in your situation to know they are not alone and it helps women like me, still in the process of international adoptions, have realistic expectations and know that others have been there, done that, and survived.
Blessings to you!
They are such beautiful children. I am glad God has blessed you win them. Being a mom is one of the hardest things in all the land : )
This brings me to tears…I can thoroughly relate. I love that last statement. He is enough. Thanks for sharing your heart. 🙂
Thank you all for your kind words. It’s amazing to be on the front lines of God’s grace and I could not feel more blessed with the gift of my children.
Thank you Amy for your honesty! Thank you for writing this. Keep up the good work with your little ones. -Matt
It is so true that God alone can heal our children. That has been such a freeing truth for me as a mother of 7. I’m with you– looking to God to do what only He can do. After 11 years I can tell you that He is indeed faithful and that healing and wholeness for our adopted children is their inheritance and you will see it! “I would have lost heart unless I had believed I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13
Thank you for the post. I have cried many times over hte past 4 weeks and asked god why we couldn’t have gotten a sleeper.
