(right) My favorite picture of Grace,
taken May 2007.
Picture taken July 1, 2007
Grace is being held by Ashley - a friend we have met in this process.
Here is a poem that an adoptive mom sent to me, someone had sent it to her after the loss of their little child.
Then I remember that you [God] wait and wonder…
longing for your adopted children to be in your arms...
gazing into your eyes, hearing your love songs....
Suddenly, I know how you feel God…
that constriction of the heart that causes pain to the depths of the soul.
And I know that my pain is more godly than anything in my life has ever
been.
For once, my heart is like your heart. And this holy pain leads me to
my knees...
to thank you for the wait…
And to pray for all the babies that need to come home…
Yours and mine.
