Children for Adoption

Adopt Hope not Fear.

At this beginning point, to adopt. . . feels like standing on a precipice, overlooking over all the fears and turmoil adoption can create. I can stand here and look all day, and imagine all the things that could go wrong, hear all the voices of others warnings, remember horror stories and worry, and never move forward.

Or I can be brave, remember most of the warning voices never have adopted and don’t understand it, the horror stories might not even be real – or could be but exaggerated. The worry – well, who ever stops worrying? I remind myself, people tend to share the worst where adoption is concerned – bad news travels swifter than the good.

There is hope was driving me forward, past my fear.

Today I tell myself, there is a child out there who needs a family – a family like us. Children for adoption aren't fantasy children, they aren't without problems. There will be times of testing. I can't allow myself to dwell on that. There will be trials with a child we gave birth to.

I must adopt an attitude of hope. How sweet it will be to lavish love on a child. To watch a child grow and flourish in a safe and stable environment. We will be the right parents for someone. Holding on to that hope I move ahead, seeking out to become a family, and praying for those children for adoption.
