After years of infertility and the promise of a biological child some day, we have committed ourselves to adoption. I have always prayed that God would lead us the way He wants us to go, and it wasn't until the third Thursday in October 2006 that he opened the door of my heart. I worried before about how our family would receive a child not of our own blood, but I am convinced that the child God is going to place in our lives will be as much us as any ever could be.
Our social worker said from the moment we began the process with her that committing to adoption was the hardest part. She certainly was right; it involves a relinquishment of self and will, and for us, it involved a redesign of our initial plans for our family.
I trust Him to go beyond our own expectations...

What makes you think you're supposed to bring up children if "God" made you infertile? Why are you fighting Him and going against His will?
