It has been hard....but as time has passed and more kids have been added, we now feel sorry for them. They are missing out on four of God's most incredible creations...their very own family. What a loss for them. I feel so sad that they make zero effort to see them :(<br /Adeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805823858173447646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758621597667774235.post-82681930063358313472011-03-28T15:56:57.516-04:002011-03-28T15:56:57.516-04:00First off, congratulations on starting again!

UGH.<br /><br />We started the process to bring home our oldest (5yo little boy) in October 2010...after bringing home our youngest (19mo now) in March 2010. We started telling people in late Jan this year...and to say we got a luke warm response from family would be putting it very mildly.<Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315009197157452620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758621597667774235.post-44371984702581796762011-03-28T15:01:44.147-04:002011-03-28T15:01:44.147-04:00Hey, are we related by chance!?!

I'm so sorry that you are dealing with those who just "don't get it" and therefore, they do not support you. It really hits me hard when I hear that.

Still stinks though, huh?<br /><br />I'm supporting you. I'm cheering very loudly all the way from Georgia.

He speaks of times when some did not agree or understand. He said....after a lot of prayer GOD revealed to him that if it was okay for the SON of God to be adopted by his earthly father (Joseph) it was clearly good enough for him and his girls.
