It's Not Just About the Baby

Something funny about adopting is that ultimately it's not about getting another child.

It's about letting go of self. It's about trusting God. It's about keeping your heart open even when it hurts. It's about stepping out when you're scared. It's about obedience. It's about holding your 'stuff'/money with a wide open hand. It's about realizing this life is just the journey--not the destination. It's about acceptance. It's about God's love. It's about personal growth.

It's so much more.

Who would have thought?!
