Love For Children - Blood or Not!

There is so much love you can have for your husband, but when you start a family, wow the love you have for your children is 100 times more!  It's different I guess I should say.  Children are God's amazing creation of you and your husband.  

They may have certain traits from both of you, maybe even another family member.  With our now 9 month old, Abram, his personality is coming out more often.  He gets his patience from his Momma, I have known!  He gets his gorgeous blue eyes from his Daddy!  He loves food, probably from both his Momma and Daddy!  :)  

So, as Abe has been showing us his personality, it's had me wondering about our 4 year old son, Del, and what traits he has inherited from his birth parents.  

He means so much to us and I cannot imagine our lives without him!  His smile lights up the entire room, his gorgeous brown eyes look right to your heart and he cares for everybody and wants to give anybody a hug!  He has really opened up my eyes to see good in everybody and every situation!  

We do not know anything about his birth parents, we have 1 picture and we do show it to him and try to explain the best we can to a 4 year old who she is.  We want to be as open & honest as possible so hopefully the older he gets the less confusion he'll have.  I am reading a few books right now on adoption and if I ever finish any of them I will let you all know which ones I found helpful!

Being a Momma to Del and Abe are no different to me, and I'm sure my husband would agree.  They both are our boys, rather they are blood or not.  There are even certain things that Del has always done that are so similar to my husband and his patience is also just like mine!  Poor kid!  :)  

We wake up and go to sleep everyday praying for our children, both of them!  I check on both of them each night before I go to bed and pray over them!  We are teaching them both about God's unending love!  We introduce them both as our sons!  Without either of them, I would not be who I am today!

I love you little man and lil miracle!
