~My Madeline~

EIGHT years ago today we met this precious child!

Madeline had only been home a few days when I took this pic:)

Adoption

I have so many thoughts on what this simple little word means

and simple has nothing to do with adoption

Adoption is

wonderful, hard, beautiful, heart wrenching,

soul building, glorious

sorrowful, joyful

nail biting roller coaster ride

the deepest peace you can imagine

all encompassing

fearful, hopeful

Adoption is

life

plain and simple

with Jesus written all over it!

I cannot imagine our family without this fiery, deep thinking, hard loving, precious child!!

Madeline we love you as big as the sky and the clouds!

we thank you for opening our hearts to the miracle of Adoption!
