Something to think about...

You know you are an adoptive mother (or you should be!) if:
1. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent
to kiss them goodnight has ever made you lose sleep.
2. You realize DNA has nothing to do with love and family.
3. You can't watch Adoption Stories on TLC without sobbing.
4. The fact that if 7% of Christians adopted 1 child, there would not be orphans in the world.
5. You spend free time surfing blogs about families who have experienced the blessing of adoption.
6. It drives you crazy when people ask you about your adopted child's "real" parents.
7. You had no idea how you would afford to adopt but stepped out in faith
anyway knowing where God calls you He will provide.
8. You have ever taken a airplane ride half way around the world to meet a child you already love.
9. You realize that welcoming a child into your heart and family is one of the most
important legacy's you could ever leave on this earth.
10. You know what the word Dossier means and you can actually pronounce it!
11. You have welcomed a social worker into the most private parts of your life.
12. You shudder when people say your child is so lucky that you adopted them,
knowing full well you are the blessed one to have them in your life.
