What is adoption to me?

What is this beautiful, painful, complicated thing called adoption? It is an incredible work of God. It is turning this



And this

And this

Into this



And this



It is finding children who don't know how to smile



Or receive love

And who own nothing, not even the too small

And mis matched clothes on their backs

And turning them into this



And this



With a family



And life



And freedom




It is a beautiful, transformative work of God that brings HOPE to lives and LIFE to families. The hard parts and the fun parts-it is all worth it.
