"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude."
~Elder Wirthlin
This just sums up how I've been feeling lately--and how I dealt with my years of "loss". And I think I love this quote so much because it also reflects on birth moms. I was watching the "16 And Pregnant Finale Show" (bad, bad, bad idea to watch that series in general, since it almost always makes me cry) and I just got so impressed with the one girl that picked adoption (queue the crying). Meeting our birth mom and getting to know her has made this whole process--and the reality of adopting a baby--even better! The selflessness she is displaying so we can have a child is amazing--and I KNOW there are lots of blessings in her future. And she just makes me want to be THE awesomest adoptive-mom because I owe her so much and I want her to never doubt her decision. Plus, she's so easy to like and be friends with-- Ahhh! I just love her, she's great.
We are so excited to see her this weekend!!
PS-- Six weeks until she's due!! Can you believe it?? So exciting!
