God has laid it upon my heart today to pray for my child's birthmother. I don't have my child yet, but I know that God knows my child already. I pray for the birthmother because she is giving me the greatest earthly gift that I will ever receive. I can't imagine the sacrifice she is making, but I am so grateful for it.
I pray for her in the sacrifice she's making to make our family grow. I hope she knows how happy she's going to make us. I pray for her after she blesses us with her child, because I know that will be difficult. I pray that she knows how much we already love her and appreciate her because it's more than I can express in words. I pray that we will raise her child in the way that she would be pleased with.
There's still so much that I don't know about this process, but we are so excited knowing that God is providing our needs and desires through this wonderful gift of adoption. Thank you, God, for this truly wonderful opportunity. I didn't choose this in our lives, but I can already tell that it will bring more joy than I could ever hope for. Thank you, Lisa, for showing Ephesians 3 to me. It's definitely the verse for our lives. Thank you to my friends and family who are already so supportive of this journey.
