I love your transparency, I love your heart, I love the way that the Lord uses your honesty and humility to minister to others, and I LOVE that Kaikai is your son, forever--And I love that you KNOW that the Lord will give you all that you need, to be Kaikai's mama.<br /><br />Phil 4:19-20 "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever.

Your words on special needs adoption is so beautiful... I tried writing about our journey to special needs adoption in my blog post, but your words sound wayyy better than mine. With your permission, may I share these words on my blog as well? (with credit to you of course). Prospective parents really do need to hear this and understand this. So So Beautiful.

I fe...Sarah, You're words are true and painful. I feel that way about our ShanShan's struggles (learning disabilities and blood disorder) that had we known we probably would have said "no." Here's what I think God did: I think he was protecting us-especially me- from knowing and worrying about what the future might hold. AND of course, I think he was protecting her from a hard and maybe even shortened life in China had she not been adopted! I know now that God knew she was our daughter and that her life and struggles would be another "walk of faith" for me! SO in the long run, I'm glad we didn't know then what we know now! Occasionally ignorance really is bliss!
