I read this on another adoptive mom's blog and thought it was so great I wanted to share it here. She didn't say who or where the quote is from so it's unknown, but good...
"For anyone who is in fear of the monsters that may be lurking around the corners of adoption, yes, as with anything, there are monsters to be conquered and there is that potential that they could gobble us up, which makes our actions so much more important. But please consider for a moment that as you are reading this, there is a child who is battling very real monsters alone. And imagine that when you make a commitment to take up arms, side by side with the child, how many unnecessary scars you, as a family, can prevent."
What a blessing to to have that reassurance. Adoption is scary but such a great blessing! (to us parents first, even before our children!)

Amen! I was scared to death. But I am SO glad I took that leap of faith. He is a wonderful child who did not deserve what the first 9 years brought him. Has it all been a bed of roses? No. Was it so worth it? 10 months in, YES!!!!
