Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously
My own.
Never forget
For a single minute:
You didn't grow under my heart
But in it.

The Legacy Of An Adopted Child
Once there were two women who never knew each other. One you do not remember, the other you call Mother.
Two different lives shaped to make you one. One became your guiding star, the other became your sun. The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need for love. The second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality. The other gave you a name. One gave you a talent. The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions. The other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile. The other dried your tears.
One sought for you a home that she could not provide. The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.
And now you ask me, through your tears, the age-old question unanswered through the years. Heredity or environment, which are you a product of? Neither, my darling. Neither. Just two different kinds of Love.
-------------------------------
An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.
--- An ancient Chinese belief

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. ---1 Samuel 1:27

And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. --- Matthew 18:5

Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother. --- Lin Yutang

Hi Stephanie,
It has gotta get here soon! We are thinking about you and praying it comes this week. Thank you, thank you, thank you for our care package. The kids loved it and they have had fun looking at your blog and seeing who their far-away friends are!
Hugs,
Kate
