Labor Pains

Today I received an encouraging note from Melissa, mother of 12 children:

"Isn't it amazing what it takes to be allowed to do a simple thing like give a child a future and a loving home.  I guess they understand in their own way that sacrifice and endurance prove character.  It takes a lot to prove you are a trustworthy person.  You would have given up a long time ago if you were not.   Keep your eyes on that prize, Bonnie.

You ... are in labor!!!   Maybe transition has come today!!

He's making your kids a testimony that you will all share to encourage many about the faithfulness of God!!!  Each one of those documents is another stone in the altar.  How big will it become is His to answer.  How many will be touched by your adoption?

You are incredible!!!   Keep breathing!!!"

This was a very encouraging note.  I feel like I've been pregnant with these children for over 6 years!  We have seen the unltrasound pictures and we are having three!  Two girls and a boy!  Interestingly enough, the oldest little girl is almost 6.  Whew!  Talk about stretch marks ...
