Janna, You are so right! In fact, my two earthly fathers (one on in heaven and one on earth) helped me SO much as a teenager understand my relationship with my Heavenly Father. It was a very powerful lesson for me.

Kristi, I LOVE what you said about the CHOICE of an adoptive father, taking on his new wife’s child(ren). Beautiful!!

Your post helps me understand just how special it is to be adopted by our heavenly father as well.

What a blessing to read about this day! Thanks Laura!

Though the love of a father for his new baby girl is the same as that of a father for the little girl he adopted. Both are as strong, but only one was a conscious, well-thought out, jumping feet first kind of a choice. I admire that about your adoptive father. And my husband as well. (He hasn’t legally adopted the kids yet, but…) He chose to marry this single mother of 3 just a few short years ago. He welcomed me and my children into his heart and we’ve been blessed since. It’s so nice to read about the experience from your point of view, as a daughter.

Kristi, Live and Love…Out lOud

I can’t say that adoption has effected me personally…yet. My husband and I hope to adopt one day. When we first went to the adoption agency and I began to think about it, I began realize how much adoption was in my family. Both of my grandfathers were adopted. My uncle is adopted. 2 of my great uncles have adopted children (3 between the two of them). And for as long as I can remember, since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to adopt.

Thanks so much for sharing this!
