Although we were apprehensive to attend at first, we are so glad we did! We met many couples that have traversed this road that we are on, and others who are only a few steps ahead of us. It was encouraging to share our fears and insecurities with others who have experienced them too, and relieving to find that we shared much in common with others who have gone before us.
How exciting it was to see a gymnasium full of children who had been not just adopted, but made part of a family where love and grace abounds. Our hearts melted as we watched the children play and love on their parents, and our eagerness to move forward increased as we were given opportunities to interact these precious gifts from God.
Insecure? Definitely. Frightened? Absolutely. Normal? You got it. What took place in our hearts on Saturday evening was confirmation from God that we were moving in the right direction, and affirmation to the plans that we have made. The Bible says, "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps" (Proverbs 16:9).
How blessed we are that God has chosen us to be part of this awesome plan to adopt into our family, as he has adopted us into His.
Love,
The Waits Bunch
