This is for all my friends and family who have been touched by adoption...
For those who have, who are still "pregnant" with adoption, or have thought of it being a possibility for the future...
You know you are an adoptive mother (or you should be!) if:
1. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to
kiss them goodnight has ever made you lose sleep.
2. You realize DNA has nothing to do with love and 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 have
experienced the blessing of adoption.
6. It drives you crazy when people ask you about your adopted
child's "real" parents.
7. You have ever been "pregnant" with your adoptive child longer
than it takes an elephant to give birth (2 years!)
8. You had no idea how you would afford to adopt but stepped out in
faith anyway knowing where God calls you He will provide.
9. You have ever taken a airplane ride half way around the world
with a child you just met.
10. You believe God's heart is for adoption.
11. You realize that welcoming a child into your heart and family
is one of the most important legacy's you could ever leave on this earth.
12. You know what the word Dossier means and you can actually
pronounce it!
13. You have welcomed a social worker into the most private parts
of your life.
14. You shudder when people say your child is so lucky that you
adopted them, knowing full well you are the blessed one to have them in your life.

If it's okay with you, I'd like to post that on my blog. I love it! SO true!!!
Who knows who will begin to feel those "adoptive mother" birth pains after reading those facts? Does anyone out there recognize this for the FIRST time? God bless ALL you adoptive mothers who have blessed us with children/grandchildren to love!!!
