I still can't believe I get to do this all over again. There is something so spiritual & beautiful about bearing new life. To get to nurture someone straight from God...and to be able to nourish them from my body.
I can look at this experience & reflect again on adoption as a higher calling. It is challenging when you long to do these things for your child (or foster child, in our case). The bonding has to take place in other ways. More sacrifice & more supernatural grace are needed to forge that same bond.
I watched this beautiful video sent by a friend today. It brought tears to my eyes and I am so excited I get to share this new one with my big kids. I am so excited they get to see nursing in action (a first for them all). The beautiful thing is a new opportunity to teach them to love. I pray that our love for baby C is a bit of a do-over. Another chance to show then how to love better.
In my husband's words...he is trilled our adopted kiddos will be sandwiched in love. Lord, help us to love. Teach is to love. Teach our kids how to love.
