I love this verse and I love your blog! I wish I could help sooo many people who are waiting for the child to come home, I am praying that there are many who feel this calling to help!
Even though I was afraid you laid a hand on mine and said "it's ok, don't cry Myla, ...your baby is out there and she's waiting patiently for you."
Even though I didn't believe somedays, you believed for me when I couldn't muster it, you called, you wrote, you came around anyway.
When I couldn't stand any more questions or talk you said you were thinking of me and that meant so much even if I couldn't express it
I was angry and hurting, so much grief, pain, and loss- when I could not see beyond it you said "love, Myla"
When I was too close to the situation and my vision clouded, bogged down in logistics you reminded me of the reason, love of the direction, faith of the necessity, trust of the power inherent in us all to rise above.
My tears are grateful ones now, friend, believe it. I take you with me when I go.

Myla Stauber adopted her child from Viet Nam in 2000. She writes, "I dedicate this poem to all those who helped, understood, worked, provided advice and loving kindness to us on this journey. To thank you .... and to bless those still waiting. It happens and it is the mightiest miracle in the world."
"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, KNOWS that we know, and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12
I am an everyday woman. I am married to my soulmate. I have three sons ages 16,13 & 4. Adoption was never something that I had planned to do, but through an interesting path, God has led me and my husband to pursue the adoption of our daughter Sophia from China. It has changed me in so many ways. I cannot wait to look in the mirror and see the woman I will be when this journey is over.

Hello my friend. Have a great Sunday!

I was moved by your comment on my blog. God definately sends us the people we need in our lives just at the perfect time.
We have a daughter from South Korea who was special needs. If I could adopt again, that would definately be the direction I would go.
Amen!
I liked that post. Hope you are having a lovely Sunday!
I came to you from the birds nest and I am coming back with a poem, hold on...
