We took her home anyway. We loved her. We set boundaries and expected her to obey them. We limited TV and videos, reading to her by the hour instead. We discovered she had a love for music and encouraged it to grow. We invested in hands-on, creative toys. We let her cook with us in the kitchen and garden with us in the yard.
Today, she made Honor Roll and we found out "they" were right. She'll never be normal. She'll always be a cut above!
Way to go, Ally!!!

ReplyDeleteI just jumped over here from the Adoption Story Blog Hop and this is beautiful. God is just SO cool! I love watching Him form families and the blessings that just abound! We have a large family with many adopted blessings and our life is so much richer. Thank you for writing the beauty and the truth that is adoption :).
