In Awe

Sometimes I just stare at Leeann or Titus in awe and wonder why God has entrusted us with two amazing miracles? Some people have asked in the past if we thought it would be different to have Titus than it was to have Leeann because he's a biological child. Many have questioned whether one can love an adopted child as much as one that you bonded with while in the womb and whom you birthed and have held since the beginning. The answer? You sure can! It's funny, we hardly ever think of Leeann as adopted because she's so much a part of our lives. We simply couldn't imagine our lives without her--it would be so boring! Her smile is enchanting and she's such an amazing beautiful little gift from God. And that's the thing, she's truly a gift. We didn't do anything to deserve her. We had no part in making her or bringing her into this world. She was simply given to us from God, the greatest gift in the world! Granted, Titus was also a gift from God, but we certainly had a part in that. I think that's why the two are on an even playing field... one not being any more special than the other. Is it different? Sure, because they were given to us from two unique circumstances. Is one more special? Not at all! Adoption is an amazing thing and so is bringing a child into this world. We're especially blessed because we've gotten to experience both gifts first-hand! God is great--I love being a mommy!
