the only weird thing is that it wasn't weird.
yesterday provided an opportunity to reconnect with our of our birthfamilies. of course, we've continued to communicate via email and pictures, but it's really special to get together.
i can't really describe it all.
we had fun because we did fun things with fun people and it wasn't awkward to talk about our connection.
we ate cookies because everyone loves a good toll house and it wasn't uncomfortable to be open with each other.
we talked a lot because conversation and communication are what's missing in most relationships and it wasn't uneasy to speak from the heart.
we are so blessed and realize that not everyone is able or willing to have a birthfamily relationship. but, this young woman and her family gave us an incredible gift. and, when i consider the story of abraham placing isaac on the altar, her face is the first thing that comes to mind. she loved my son so much that she made a choice to give him life and a better life. i feel selfishness in myself when i see her for i'm not sure i could give him up for God nor any person. that's a profound love! and that's the selfless, Jesus-kind-of-love we all need--to love so deeply that no pain of separation can match it.

precious Jesus, thank You for all my blessings.
