I'm no writer, I assure you. Just a woman with a few things on her mind. A mom that makes mistakes, a wife that loves her husband more than words can say and a woman constantly seeing God in the everyday.

We Are The Truth
Though adoption is typically considered life giving to the children being adopted, that's not truth, it's a farce (mostly). Rather, my life was saved in a way I cannot articulate.
Adopting my daughter shook me in a way not even giving birth to my son seven years prior did. Because of her I had to be MORE than a "good" mom. I could no longer be stagnant in my parenting (I thought I was doing just fine) and had to think beyond myself and what my expectations of my children were. She saved me. Oh how she saved me....
OK, I know boys are supposed to be "handsome" (and he is), but Tariku is BEAUTIFUL. And I can't even put into words what adoption did to me as a mom. It's a different kind of intense that giving birth isn't...not better or worse...just different...can't articulate but I get it...

Signed, sealed, and delivered! And that's the truth!
