Just the Same

My Mom found this poem in the April 2011 Ensign. I love it.



Just the Same
By Diana Lynn Lacey

Sometimes-
God sends rain
Straight from the sky
To nourish the young flower
and it grows.

Sometimes-
God sends rain from the sky
To the mountaintops,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until it reaches the flower
and it grows, Just the same.

Sometimes-
God sends a child
Straight from His realm
Into a mother's
arms and love grows.

Sometimes-
God sends a child
From heaven to another's arms,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until he reaches the arms of his mother
and love grows, just the same.

How true. I have full faith that adopted children, placed into the homes God meant them to be in are loved just the same as a child who is born into their forever family. My husband and I hope to adopt some day and I have no doubt we'll love that child the same way we love Ava.

Also, I was wondering if any of you could give me advice. As I said, my husband and I would like to adopt someday. I don't even know where to begin. ANY advice or tips? You can comment here or email me at illbelovingyou@hotmail.com Thanks!
