I've seen it in our own family as well. My mother was adopted when she was 15 months old, her biological mother was a single mom, had other children, and couldn't give my mom the basics she needed in order to thrive. It was both a gift and a sacrifice. She had a wonderful family growing up, and was able to become the person she is now because of it... we're all grateful. She has met her biological family since then, and it's like a big extended family now.<BR/><BR/>Before my mom met my father, she ended up pregnant, single, and alone. Remembering the gift of life that her own adoptive mother gave to her, she, too, gave my sister up for adoption when my sister was born. She went on to meet my father, and us four siblings were born. I met my sister about 15 years ago, and again, it feels like gaining an extended family. We were SO blessed that things turned out so beautifully all around.<BR/><BR/>Really, though, we are all adopted into God's family, we didn't do anything to deserve it, yet He loved us before we even knew Him, He wanted us in His family... He wanted us so much that He sent His son to earth for us... what a beautiful gift of life.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Life full circle!Stellan Braceletshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238859163470575588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591350507271655442.post-37513133736689435012008-11-05T06:20:00.000-08:002008-11-05T06:20:00.000-08:00God Bless Mary!
