Here is our first post to kick off Adoption Month. It is from an adoptive parent, of two wonderful kids!
And the Greatest of these is LOVE.
It’s all about LOVE.
What is it that gives a frightened woman the courage to face family, friends, employer, co-workers and neighbors with the news of an unplanned pregnancy? LOVE
What is it that gives a mother the strength and courage to decide to find a family to adopt her child? LOVE
What is it that makes a couple reach out for that child and create a family? LOVE
It is as simple as that. A mother’s love for her unborn child gives her the strength and courage to seek out a loving couple and create with them a family. A couple, blessed with a deep love and faith in one another, accepts the greatest gift this mother can give. And all pledge to do the best they can for the child. Love is a funny thing. The more you give, the more you get. Two women gave my husband and me the greatest gifts they had to give, a son and a daughter. We have tried hard to be worthy of their love and trust and have raised our children to be loving, considerate, disciplined young adults, each of whom is grateful for the ultimate gift made by these women.

-Thank you for sharing what adoption means to you. To me, it is too often that we forget what the core root of everything is, and how powerful of an impact love can have on so many people. What I like most about this response, is the ripple effect it illustrates. It helps highlight not only the realization of the love felt by all, but the power that comes with loving someone so deeply.
