Obviously, I haven't adopted, but, after growing up with an adopted brother, I assumed that bringing another child into the family would not be an issue. After all, I love kids; I get along with almost everybody; and I had background with adoption. I felt that way until my husband's cousin came to live with us for 2 years. And it was So. Hard. But through it all, God has taught me so much about grace, so much about forgiveness (giving it and needing it!), so much about love. You are doing so very much. Again, so many prayers for you--every day. And also for the knowledge that you don't need to be super woman. You may not be able to do (or continue) some things. We don't like to hear or think that in our culture, but, like Isaiah's culture, we are (wo)men of unclean lips living among people of unclean lips. But if we walk in God's will, as He directs us, He *will* provide what is necessary. To Him be the glory!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231818670835653986noreply@blogger.com
