The Adoption Journey

I’m adopted. But I never viewed it as anything but positive—beautiful even. Growing up, when my friends asked me why I had blond hair and my Mom and Dad had dark brown hair, I proudly replied, “It’s because I’m adopted.” In my mind, there’s no distinction, they’re not my adoptive parents. They’re my parents.

Now we have three girls, one through adoption and two through pregnancy. But we don’t see any lines of distinction. I always tell people that God builds families in two ways: through pregnancy and birth, and also through adoption.
