I have a new addiction...www.pinterest.com
The site is seriously addicting! I now have a follower that I have never even met, so I feel as if I have to step up my "pinning" game a bit! But I really do love checking out beautiful decorating ideas, baby stuff & crafts for me (and the baby) to do.
While I was on the site last night, I stumbled across a section about adoption. If I ever had any doubt in my mind about adoption, it was taken away in the moments I spent online last night. See, I've always known I wanted to adopt; I've felt it in my heart since I was little. But sometimes people (society) tell us that we need to "have" our own kids. I can't even begin to count how many people have thought I was crazy that we don't want to seek medical help to have our "own" babies. I really feel that God put me (us) on this earth to rescue babies. I know it is hard for people to understand if a) they don't know God or b) they just don't have the compassion to understand. The second I start to feel at peace about the decision that we, and God, have made, it seems that someone comes along telling me how sad the situation is and how holding your newborn baby is the best feeling in the world. I want to yell, "thanks a lot! like I even have a CHOICE about the matter, now you just made it all the worse." Can anyone blame me for wanting to say that? No, but if I actually said it aloud, now that would be rude. Kinda crazy, huh? People can say extremely hurtful things to us because they want to express their opinions about the situation? I guess. Or maybe they are just plain stupid :) Who knows!
I can't wait until the day that God opens a door, a big door, for us and gives us the awesomest gift in the world. Until then, we pray for the family that HE wants us have, however that may happen.
