The waiting

The waiting. 

How hard it is when you wait.

And wait.

And wait some more.

And you aren't sure, really, if the waiting will ever end.

I'm promised eternity.

But I am not promised that this life on Earth will give me all I hoped for.

And then, Isaac was born.

And the waiting was done.

Motherhood doesn't have to be blood to be ...

Motherhood.

It healed my heart. 

Had I never experienced a pregnancy, I would have still said "I found peace."

I know adoption. I love the child that made me a mom.

I love adoption.
