Tears welled to overflowing as my friend gently laid her newborn son into a blanket for swaddling. I had no words, but my meager attempt at capturing the moment came out as a choked, “I am so happy for y’all.” We hugged and both teared up again.
Baby J is here!
For years, we have prayed, waited, wrestled, cried, questioned, and trusted. And now, Baby J is here! He is home. And he is loved more than his newborn self can begin to comprehend. That’s okay, he has a lifetime to soak it up and figure it out.
Adoption. Have you delighted in the depth of love that your adoption entails?
“...but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” (Rom. 8:15)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. (Eph. 1:3-6)
