Thanks Joellen and Kdecrow for sharing God's hand in your adoption journeys. Kdecrow, I am so sorry for your finding death at the end of your adoption search- I too found my birth parents both deceased when I "found" but did meet 3 lovely birth sisters. Though I went through the sadness of never meeting my birth parents- my birth sisters shared alot about them to me through stories and photos that I cherish. I hope you too will have a chance to meet your sons relatives in his adoptive family and learn more about his life. Interesting about the Mark 3:33 connection- God is a creative God and reveals his ways and plans to us in ways we would never figure out. Our Creator God is amazing. Joellen, your adoption story sounds much like mine - I was raised in a wonderful Christian adoptive family and I still have a very close and loving special bond with my adoptive mom who is 85 and is a loving woman of God. I feel very blessed! My adoptive father passed away over 10 years ago and my sister through adoption died last year.
Thanks all for sharing and I hope we hear more stories of God's fingerprints in others adoption journeys!
Jody
