Dusty and I didn't take the adoption journey alone. We had been praying for God's timing for 7 years, but God's first move was to prepare the hearts of our big kids. One afternoon, our children requested a family meeting before our bedtime prayers. As planned, they sat us down and let us know God had put adoption on their hearts, and they wanted to know if it was something we would consider. They were delighted to know we were on the same page.
Adoption is not a journey for the faint of heart, but if you lean into God, it can be beautifully broken. It would be 5 more years before our big kids would meet their brother's. Watching my oldest children struggle and grow nearer to God in this journey was both heartbreaking and joyous. They are the best at being a big brother and a big sister. The joy of having their brother’s home has come with a myriad of challenges, and they have both walked this road with grace and pose. Without a second thought, they have set aside their desires and plans for the well-being of their brothers. They have sacrificed greatly I am proud to call them mine. I know the connection my children have will continue to grow. They will be blessed to learn from each other’s experience in the crazy journey called adoption.
