What a neat sign, Mari! I'm so glad that book was there to be of comfort to you. I have had subscriptions to the Upper Room and many times the verse and reading for the day was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Isn't it great how God works in such mysterious ways?!
I'm anxious to hear more of your story...

Mari, What a fantastic mother you are! To read how you dealt with your daughter's latest news, but then how you helped her see the bigger picture of what you were doing and the lessons that were there for you both - WOW. I definitely think your writing needs to be shared with a larger audience!
Thanks for continuing to share your story with us. I'm learning so much from you!

Great letter! I have to say that our church, very small, very white, and very caring, has been NOTHING but wonderful since they first learned we were adopting Garrett from Guatemala. Everyone was so excited for us, but very respectful of boundaries, especially in the first few months he was home. One of the most meaningful moments, so far, was Garrett's baptism. Our pastor wore a traditional scarf-like thing (Sorry - I don't know the official name for it!) from Guatemala and gave such a personal sermon/blessing to Garrett that including so many adoption elements in it. It was wonderful! Now that we're waiting for a second child to find his/her way to our family, we are so comforted in knowing that our child will be fully accepted and welcomed with open arms at our church. That is such a wonderful feeling!
