On Friday, July 10th we legally became the parents of our son, Marcus! It was truly an incredible day filled with a million emotions. "My son", you'll never know what those two words mean to me. He's an amazing gift to my life. His very presence makes my life sweeter, richer and more fulfilling. I love being his mother.
I knew from the time I was 15 years old that I most likely would not be able to have my own child because of medical issues. For many years it was incredibly difficult and painful walking through any emotion related to infertility. It felt like I had been given a death sentence. I longed and ached to be a mother. I've always believed that God was able to do a miracle. My fear was if He was willing.
My miracle looked nothing like I thought it would. I've experienced the greatest sense of awe and amazement as I've walked this road to adopting my son. I'm so grateful to God for the responsibility of being a mother. I'm daily asking the Lord to give me the wisdom to parent Marcus in a way that will cause him to become the man he was perfectly created to be.
To my son, I love you my darling boy. You're an incredible little person with a beautiful spirit! You have a way of making even the worst of days brighter and full of hope. You are very special to me and your daddy. I'm so glad you made your way home to us.
