This past week I was able to speak with a mother in my community that has adopted two precious children Internationally.
Our conversation just warmed my heart. She shared her hardships and her joys. It just felt so good to talk to someone that knows what I am going through.
She and her husband have adopted a little boy from the Philippines, and a little girl from Vietnam. So, she really had two different experiences to share about, because both processes were very different.
We are planning on getting our families together in the near future.
She and I are also considering starting up a support group for families that have experienced, going through, or thinking about adoption. I am really excited about my new friendship!
