Adoption Day -6!
The experts say there’s a honeymoon period after you bring your adopted children home. This is a period of time when everything is going great, everyone is having fun, the issues you have to deal with are at a minimum….until some time later when the real, raw emotions come out. We’re still on the honeymoon phase – we haven’t hit that next phase yet. For the most part, things are going great. We hope this time doesn’t end, but have to face the facts that it will. Actually, we’re trying to bring on the end of the honeymoon period by picking away at the scabs by talking about things a little bit at a time – so we can start to handle the fears, sadness, worries and other issues that our girls need to face. Until then, enjoy some more pictures!
How can some new children come into your life and I love them almost immediately? How can I see them as daughters so fast? Some may say this is not possible, but I think that God gives this ability to some. No, that doesn’t make anyone better than another, just different. I already see Jessica and Erika as daughters. To me, they are the same as Holly. I would suggest that they are not really new to our family. God had this planned out at the beginning. He knew that Jessica and Erika would be our daughters, so this isn’t really a new thing, is it? These hurting, innocent girls need to be overwhelmed with love, compassion, caring, time and attention because they are children of God and because they are our children. They deserve everything our biological children have had.
