6 years ago today, on the other side of the world in a small mountain village, a young woman gave birth to beautiful twin boys. I can't imagine the challenges she faced. I can't fathom the decisions that lay ahead of her. I don't want to know the depths of her sorrow and pain.
What I do know is that 6 years ago today, both our worlds changed ever. Not many people have the privilege we had in our adoption journey. We began praying for our boys birth mother when she was 12 years old. We prayed for their father, too, but can only assume his age. We carried both of them with us for years before she became pregnant with our precious sons. I am often overwhelmed by that piece of our journey. We might never know, on this side of heaven, the full impact of our prayers, but I am grateful that we had the opportunity to cover them in prayer during that season in their life. If I could stand before her today, on their 6th birthday, I would say thank you for being braver than I could ever imagine being. Thank you for choosing life for these amazing humans. I would tell her that her boys are amazing and just as brave and strong as she is. They light up every room their enter. They choose joy every day. They love to laugh and joke around. They love their family fiercely. I am certain they have her eyes and/or smile. Every day, we see a glimpse of who their birth parents are. We continue to pray for them and celebrate who they are to us and to our boys. Happy 6th birthday to our sweet twin boys. We feel blessed beyond measure to celebrate another birthday with you. We are eternity grateful God choose us to be your forever family. We know He has big plans for both of you. We are so thankful we have front row seats to the rest of your life. Continue to live life to the fullest. Continue finding joy in the small pleasures of life. Continue being exactly who God made you to be.
