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.

How Beautiful.......
