Adoption is a wonderful, challenging, beautiful, patience-trying path to walk. It’s simultaneously a glorious picture of what the Lord has done for us, and a mirror into which I am forced to see how far short I fall in loving others like the Lord has loved me. As it turns out, I’m not always a joy to parent either, huh, Father?!  I’ve been on this path for 4 years now, in 2 different ways, and have a learned a few things that I’d love to share with you.
