You Know You Are An Adoptive Parent If...
YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN ADOPTIVE PARENT IF ...
1. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to kiss them goodnight has made you lose sleep.
2. You realize DNA has nothing to do with love & family.
3. You can't watch Adoption Stories on TLC without sobbing.
4. The fact that, if 7% of Christians adopted 1 child there would be no orphans in the world, is convicting to you.
5. You spend free time surfing blogs about families who've experienced the blessing of adoption.
6. It drives you crazy when people ask you about adopted child's "real" parents.
7. You've been "pregnant" with your adoptive child longer than it takes an elephant to give birth.(2 years!)
8. You'd no idea how you'd afford to adopt, but stepped out in faith anyway, knowing He'd provide. (& He does!)
9. You've taken an airplane half-way around the world with a child you just met.
10. You believe God's heart's for adoption.
11. You realize that welcoming a child into your heart & family is one of the most important legacies you could ever leave on this earth.
12. You know what the word "Dossier" means & you can actually pronounce it correctly!
13. You've welcomed a social worker into the most private parts of your life.
14. You shudder when people say your child's so lucky that you adopted them, knowing full well you're the blessed one to have him or her in your life.
Doesn't this just say it all. I have borrowed this from http://theboysadoption.blogspot.com/. Thank You!

Ava's First Birthday
It was Ava's birthday, yet I received the best gift. I wasn't able to send Ava a care package for her birthday, but I sent her one for Chinese's New Year with the help of Ann at Red Thread China. She sent me these pictures just a day after they were taken. I can't tell you how blessed we feel to have them. It was such a wonderful surprise. We were not expecting pictures or even an update. She looks so happy, healthy, and loved. I just can't tell you how this does my heart good!
