We know this is a road we want to take someday (international adoption...maybe even from Swaziland if it is possible then) and I love seeing inside the difficult, beautiful, heartbreaking, hopeful process that adoption is!<br /><br />Just found your blog for the first time via Kriek's. I'm so glad I can "follow" you now! Just as a refresher - you met my husband Rusty in Swaziland in 07 and 08 I believe...and we met you again in Colorado when we were on our honeymoon (and you had just adopted Isaiah and Laila).Ericka B.

You are instilling that in him every time you have one of those little chats. he is yours, and he is Christ's. Simple as that. But sometimes it's even tough for me to understand how I am a part of a "new family" so it's only natural for him to question. I love the picture of all the other brothers and sisters chiming in with- "Yes! You are my brother, and always will be!" beautiful Laura! You are doing a good job, keep it up.Hosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01136611600928193544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055825589359219830.post-52535653623167593662011-07-17T14:09:15.648-06:002011-07-17T14:09:15.648-06:00Whew.

As he grows and sees that yall truly are his forever family, I know the Lord will speak straight to his heart through every situation where he may doubt!kimberly woolridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054264669037217574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055825589359219830.post-40660699648761256932011-07-17T00:46:16.964-06:002011-07-17T00:46:16.964-06:00Wow Laura, these are hard conversations and emotio...Wow Laura, these are hard conversations and emotions. Keep on loving him the way you do, and I'm sure he will understand more and more of what real love is! He will understand God's love for him in amazing ways too! Thanks for sharing. At our adoption classes, we learned that this stuff is normal, but I don't think it will ever feel that way. Love your heart!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101573298170822781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055825589359219830.post-28153471324024436852011-07-16T21:57:32.540-06:002011-07-16T21:57:32.540-06:00Wow he is obviously a very smart little boy.
