Happy Mother's Day!

Today brings me such joy and yet sadness. I am so thankful for the gifts that each of my children are to me. They are unique and beautiful ,created in God's image. The possibilities are endless, follow your dreams, follow your heart, my prayer for all of you is to follow Jesus.
My sadness is with those who are sad today because they feel empty without children. Please if you have ever considered adoption, please be assured that you will love adopted children no different than biological children. God has a plan , perhaps the stork has a different delivery method. Do what is right, do what is good.
I will also be praying for those mother's who have given life to these children and then given them to adoption. Most Mother's in China will never know the fate of their children. All I know is that these moms literally risked their lives to complete the pregnancy and placed their child were they could be found. How could I thank someone for that? Do what is right, do what is good.

Did she kiss me?

Every once in a while Lily hits me with a question that makes want to sob right there on the spot but I know that God has given me the responsibility of protecting Lily and holding her heart so delicatly so even when I want to sob, I wait until I am alone.
So today Lily asks me, "Do you think my Chinese mommy kissed me when I was born?"
Me, "Yes, My Lily I know she kissed you when you were born. She is such a blessing to us"
Lily," Do you think she knew that you were a mommy who needed me?"
Me, "Yes, my dear Lily"
Oh how my heart aches for Lily, she looked sad today asking me those questions. I ache for a mother who has no idea what has happened to a daughter that she once kissed.
