There is another new post below this one.
I just saw this on a fellow adoption friend's blog and had to steal what she said.
I thought it was so profound and I love it so I'm just going to quote her.
Last week she saw this:
"It made me cry.
Sometimes I have doubts about adopting transracially. I wonder if we are doing the right thing. Some say that it is not "natural" for a white family to raise a black child. They argue that there are just too many differences between the races. Having never been there, it is hard not to wonder if they are right.
Then God comforted me with the gift of this image. Even in nature, he reminded me, he gives black babies to white mamas. They are both sheep. They are exactly the same on the inside. It just so happens that the wool of one is a different color than the wool of the other. There is nothing weird or unnatural about it. They are a family, just the way that God intended.
Lord, make us a family with the child that you have called us to love. Help us to see no difference but the color of our "wool." "
*Our t-shirt sale fundraiser starts this Friday for the entire month of October! Mark your calendars and start checking my blog on a regular basis.
