Adoption Day 37
As I’ve mentioned before, it’s amazing how quickly you can get attached to a child. We really thought those 5 children would be the ones we would adopt. Now, it’s hit us (me) rather hard that they’re going to another family. I know that because God is in control, everything will work out OK. Trust and obey.
We’ll likely not even look at any pictures of children until we are told by our adoption counselor that there’s nothing left to do because we’re approved and ready to be matched. It’s too hard on us to get attached, then wait – or to get attached and then not have it happen.
Isn’t it interesting? Attachment from us to the adopted children is a natural thing. The other direction is another story altogether.
