Been thinking a lot about adoption, the whole process,
both sides - our side and the birth-mothers side.
Been Praying.......Praying to God to guide a special birthmom out there right now who is carrying life inside of her
that will someday be my little child. I don't know who she is but I
lift her up to you. I ask you to watch over her, care for her and show
her your love.
Maybe she's young and experiencing shame over her pregnancy and battling
with the knowledge that she has no choice but to give up this child
that is growing inside of her. Her heart aches with confusion, pain and
sorrow as she carries this burden everyday. Lord, be her
Comforter...comfort her heart, be her strength, guide her in your paths.
Lord, I don't know any of the specifics of her life. But I know that
over this next year she is going to go through pain...pain I will never
understand. Pain of giving up a child she gave birth to or pain of
dying, helplessly, knowing she will never care for this life that she
has produced. My heart can't even begin to understand how her heart
aches and how it will hurt and what she will experience. But I know
that you understand...you're there...you're sovereign even over this.
Thank you for her life. Thank you for her decision to choose life.
Thank you that through the pain and the suffering you will make
something beautiful because your Word says you make all things
beautiful. Thank you that you can make broken things whole. Thank you
that even though things don't always make sense to us and they hurt so
deeply, you are in control and you know what is best.
Please watch over her and protect that precious life inside of her. I
pray that somehow, some way, she will know how grateful I am to her and
for the child our hearts will share.

he will never be mine. And, so, together, we are Motherhood." ~

"And, maybe, you can tell your baby when you love him so that he's been
loved before... by someone, who delivered your son, from God's arms...
to my arms... to yours." ~ Michael McLean
How Beautiful.......
