Tell Me the Good Things

Several months ago I asked some web-friends about the Good Things that adoption has taught and showed them... it was during a period of doubting and wondering if we really were supposed to DO THIS! :) I loved the responses and looked forward to my creating my own list of THE GOOD THINGS... so here it goes!

• Ben asked the kids about their favorite part of America - they said Mom and Dad


• watching Lilly introduce her brother Joseph to the neighbors while holding his hand


• cuddling in bed with 6 kids!


• watching the kids light up when they like a new food


• watching the 6 kids play together with Polly Pockets


• listening to the kids giggle and whisper from their bunk beds when they are supposed to be sleeping


• knowing, without any doubt, that God had this planned for us from the beginning


• getting a phone call from a kid who doesn't speak English and still thinks talking on the phone is so cool


• watching the kids with their own friends at school


• teaching the kids songs in English
• Watching the kids argue because I know that they have bonded
