Shifting Tides

Adoption originates from brokenness.

Seriously. Think about it.

In order for a child to join our family through adoption, there HAD to be brokenness in some aspect.

I can’t ignore the broken.

We are almost to 5 months of this particular journey. It’s been a bumpy ride. (And that’s an understatement.) There is beauty mixed in, but it has been so messy. And painful.

In the last 48 hours, two parents (of the same child) individually gave confirmation that they feel that adoption is the next best step.

Oh, my heart.

A mother sat in a room with me twice this week and repeated that she wants her child to be a forever part of our family.

I don’t know what the process will look like over the next few months, but the tide has shifted and we’re headed in a new direction.

Navigating both the beauty and the brokenness. One deep breath at a time.
