Adoption.
When I hear that word, part of me wants to cry tears of joy and some of frustration. Part of me wants to grin from ear to ear. And Part of me wants to scream “WARNING: it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do!” November is national adoption month and you’ll probably see some heartbreaking statistics while you scroll through Facebook at 11 o’clock tonight. It might tug on your feelings and you’ll think back to that commercial you saw on TV last week that promoted foster care. You’ll think, wow, there are so many kids in need of love and attention. Then you’ll keep scrolling. The truth is, as a foster sister, I’ve come to the end of myself more times than I can count. I’ve watched as every member of my family has had “growing pains.” I’ve cried out to God and questioned Him, His plans, His faithfulness, His goodness, and His love. I’ve been mad and I’ve been filled with laughter. But I’ve also seen the heart of God in the most unexpectedly beautiful way.
