First I want to say I truely love all my extended family. But I dont undertstand why they feel necessary to question my and my husbands decisions for our immediate family.
It was so with my first adoption of Alina, certain unnamed family members felt they had the right to say they did not feel that adoption was in the best interest of my biological kids and felt I should not adopt. Alina has been home three years and had blended into our family as if she has been here her entire life. So as of now this family member has never met Alina and that person is missing out on a wonderful little girl.
So back to the present day we are wanting to adopt again, and now the family(different members than previously) are asking why? Why adopt? Why this child? Why someone not in the US. I just can say I feel this is the way I feel that God is leading me. He led me to Alina and he has led me to Shawn.
The bible states we are to take care of the widows and the orphans yet when someone feels called to be blessed others have to voice their opinion.
I am not trying to be ugly, I am just trying to understand. I am not able to help the way I feel ,I truely believe that the Lord is saying what way I am to go for my children, I must have faith and trust I am doing what He leads me to not what I am choosing to do. Basically I love my family all, if you have words of support or encouragement bless us, if you have word that are questioning and hurtful, please keep them to yourself, I do not mean to sound ugly, but I also do not need to be questioned about my choices or have hurtful things said about me.
Any new child by birth or adoption is a blessing from the Lord, let us choose how we to bring them into our family
