I realized I have tended to picture infant adoption when I have pictured this...but I think this scenario may be more accurate.<BR/>A basically grown child with all of their history and probably some baggage too.<BR/>It would seem, not a whole lot of satisfaction to give to a parent...BUT He gave us all the benefits of being a part of the family and being given the authority of the family name anyway. <BR/>Not for his satisfaction, as much as for the fact that He loved us and wanted us to belong. Unconditional love.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519364778481476694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372176800669205298.post-29380070278459801792008-11-04T22:03:00.000-05:002008-11-04T22:03:00.000-05:00Aren't you glad you get to be an "adopted momma" t...Aren't you glad you get to be an "adopted momma" to lots of kids?! <BR/>You thought they would come from another country and live in your house... but they are right under your nose every day. <BR/>Gotta love that about God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372176800669205298.post-32649821974808321422008-11-04T20:10:00.000-05:002008-11-04T20:10:00.000-05:00It's so amazing to see first hand the effect that ...It's so amazing to see first hand the effect that choices can have on a person's life. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you were there to offer some good advice.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585581538299014065noreply@blogger.com
