Adoption

Well...i've just had this on my mind for a while because Jessica adopted Miah and he is such an automatic part of our family...I wanted to know if it was right for Enos and I. So i decided to go to an enrichment activity where a former member of our ward spoke to about 9 of us about adoption and how they adopted their son...It was such a tender story and i felt connected to them because her name was Lindsey (yes an E, i asked) her mom liked the name because of Lindsay Wagner, same with me and then to top it all off.. her husband was a tall and chubby sweet man...kinda like mine. :) So i listened to their story and by the end i was amazed at how much people will go through to do the will of the Lord. These people, like my sister and her husband, struggled with a lot of hopeful adoptions but no success, until finally...there was. The difference with these people is that the husband was infertile and went through the grief and sadness with not being able to bare their own children. It was really interesting to listen to their story...In the end i think i gained a testimony of the path of adoption for those who have the need and will and desire to adopt. It is a beautiful thing. I just didn't feel influenced personally to adopt (i don't think i'm strong enough to go through that). But i am a very big supporter of adoption and the joy it can bring. Though it may be a hard choice for the young unmarried mother, it may be the right one. I guess that's really all i have to say about that... i don't really know what else to say...it was just on my mind. I hope i don't offend anyone by what i've said. Here's a picture of Lindsey and her husband Josh who adopted Tyson. If you want to read more about their adoption go to www.therhouse.blogspot.com
