Adoption

Today is an extremely special day...it's my handsome husband's BIRTHday!  Life is SO precious and I thank God all the time that He picked Dave to be the man I grow old with.  We seriously laugh ALL the time together and are like little kids who never want to grow up.  Babe, I know you're 31 but you definitely don't look like it and you certainly don't act like it and I absolutely love that about you!  Thank you for being a kid at heart, thank you for being the best husband in the world and thank you for being the best dad in the world!  My love continues to grow for you every day.  You're my hero.

So you're probably wondering why the post is titled adoption.  Let me please preface this post by saying that I am not judging or condemning anyone for having an abortion.  That is not my purpose so please do not take it that way because the bible says in Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged" and continues to say in Matthew 7:3 "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?"  So again, let me stress, there is no judgement here. I just want to share how precious of a gift adoption is.  I am forever grateful that Dave's birth mom chose adoption because there are many families out there praying for the opportunity to adopt and bring a child into their loving arms.  I don't know what her circumstances were but I am so thankful that God warmed her heart so that she didn't choose abortion.  God placed Dave into the most loving arms on June 21st, 1982 when he was just over a month old.  He literally has the most amazing parents who have loved him and raised him into such a great man!  I hope that if anyone is ever faced with the decision of adoption or abortion that they choose adoption because these two boys would not exist if the choice would've been abortion and I cannot imagine my life without these two precious boys!  I love you both so much...your life is such a great gift!  Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..."
