Listened to FamilyLife Today with Dennis Rainey “Strategies for
Parenting adopted children” and “Adopting
Deborah”. Also listened to two of three
broadcasts of the series “adopted for life” with Russell Moore. They were spectacular. I very very much related to Russell
Moore. They struggled with infertility,
and in that struggle he battled with coveting, and jealousy, and pride. It’s amazing to know that there are other
people that go through very similar journeys.
His book in available through AFABC, and Cal and I have already agreed
it is the next book we’ll be requesting.
His approach to parenting and parenthood mirrors the way we want to
raise our children.
All the references have confirmed that they’ve received their
packages, except Andre. I think he’s
pretty busy this weekend, so we’re not going to pester him until later this
week to see if he has received it. I'm glad that both Cal and I are doing so much research. Everything I read just helps to re-affirm how much we want to become parents by adoption. There will be struggles, this won't be a fairy-tale - but neither is raising a biological child. The struggles will likely be a whole new unexpected kind, but God will prepare us and guide us through them all.
Our adoption social worker gets back from her holidays this week. We might go bug her on Wednesday.
