A good friend who also has gone through the pain of barrenness but also rejoiced in the wonders of adoption, wrote these words from a poem she read from another woman on the journey of adoption. I rewrite them b/c those words really connected with my heart. I'm so thankful for Jake but I really wish I would have "birthed" him b/c I missed 2 years with him and I love him so much that it will always be a heartache for me. Yes, I have him now.....but.....
So those who can connect with these heartfelt words enjoy...
Thanks Amanda for posting!
Pangs of longing contract with faith:
that your untimely birth was for my sake,
and my barrenness for yours.
I am not ashamed either way
