We have been on this adoption journey for 9 years now. We dove head first into open adoption with passion and excitement, willing to embrace everything the Lord would bring us. We have been incredibly blessed not only with our children, but with the wonderful, loving, open relationships we have found with each of their families.
Open adoption while not without it's challenges, has been an easy adjustment for us and seems to have been what we were born to do. What we are struggling with though, is the depth of wounding our children have suffered. I knew they would have hurt and loss to work through, but I never imagined the extent to which it would impact their lives. We did after all adopt them from birth - so in my mind I thought this would limit the severity of their trauma.
I.Was.Wrong.
I wanted to create this blog to have a safe, anonymous place to share our story - that maybe it would help other parents on a similar journey with kids from hard places know... they are not alone.
I pray that we all might find healing from whatever our woundings might be... that we could all be liberated,
and fly free.
