Tonight I was struck by the reality of a mother and father somewhere making (or about to make) the decision to give up their child for adoption so that Rebekah and I can be parents.
Understanding what it is like to want children and not have children, I have a hard time imagining having to make this decision. I have a hard time imagining the possibility of standing face to face with these individuals, knowing that I'm taking someone that is (hopefully) very precious to them.
I don't know the "situation" (that's adoption speak) that we'll find ourselves in. It may not be like I think it will be. I pray God leads us and gives us wisdom. I'm going to ask in faith without doubting (read James 1: 5-8). This is where it starts getting real.
