ONE YEAR since we met....April 2012

Oh how she shines

What if we said NO to adoption?

I cannot even swallow and say that question at the same time.

She is a light.

But do not make her angry or you might get "the look."

What a difference TIME makes.

I pray that Florie's birth mom is at peace that Florie is okay.  How I wish I could meet her, and hold her hand, look in her eyes, and tell her that all is well.  I want to tell her thank you for giving Florie up for adoption rather than choosing other options.  I hate that we will always have so many questions that will never be answered.  I pray that Florie always feels CHOSEN.  She is a BOGER and nothing will ever change that for her or our boys.  Our children are so well loved by God.  They are beloved in His eyes! I know there will be rough and sad and difficult times to come, but today, we celebrate our sweet girl that we met only ONE YEAR AGO today!

"Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance." ~ Mother Teresa

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."

Romans 8:14-16

ABBA, FATHER!

Love,

Eve
