I know I've talked about this before but we live in a great place and have amazing friends that support and appreciate adoption beyond anything I've ever seen.
Last night was my friend's baby shower. She is adopting her daughter from Korea in the next couple of months after far too many months of drama and waiting. I'm so excited for her and it was so fun to celebrate this exciting event with her. There were so many women there, some from our church, some not, who were all so thrilled for Kris and this chance she has to adopt. At least 3 of us there have adopted children of our own and have been through many "painful" baby showers but adoption baby showers are different. They are full of hope and bonding. As she opened all the gifts for her daughter, I just loved how much people had thought about this little baby on the way and how they could give something that would help with transition and love and acceptance.
These ladies may not have known that they made an impact on me but I'm grateful for sensitive and open and accepting friends who are so encouraging and thoughtful especially when we're going through long drawn out adoption processes. You ladies are awesome!
