Emotional Basketcase - Part 1.

It's been quite awhile since I've been emotional about our adoption.

Almost the WHOLE adoption journey I was an absolute basket case.

I would cry at the drop of a hat.

I would cry over commercials, TV episodes, other's adoption stories, & getting the wrong order from Zaxby's.

It was an emotional roller coaster, to say the least!

I cried for me.

I cried for my child.

I cried because I wanted my son LONG before I ever held him & kissed him.

I cried because it seemed that nothing went the way I wanted it to go.

But mostly I cried because of the beautiful story that was being written for us.

I would get so emotional thinking of our child.

Orphaned.

Abandoned.

Hungry.

Alone.

Needing ME, & me desperately needing HIM!

Mommy & Baby separated by mounds of paperwork & lots & lots of ocean water!

----------------------------

However, when it all played out, I found that I wasn't very emotional at all!

Baby boy was pretty horrid in country!

I mean, B-A-D!

Our adoption agency worker told us that he was probably acting as horrid as he could to see if we would take him back.

I think she was right!

And, well, we didn't take him back.

We never even considered it!

----------------------------

Walker has flourished & blossomed & is thriving now that he's home with his forever family!

 When I look back at our journey.

The journey through which God has graciously walked all three of us.

I get very emotional!

It's a love story that is still being written.

But, I must say that the beginning is pretty wonderful!

In fact, it's more wonderful than I could've EVER dreamed!
