The Blessings of Adopting

I have a friend named Katie who has always had a special place in my heart. During college we had a special bond. God worked in our lives and brought us closer in profound ways. When I suggested Katie consider adoption I knew in my heart that God would reveal deep treasures of His love to her. As I followed her adoption blog I was astounded by God and how He just confirmed to me how close adoption is to His heart. Orphans capture God's special attention. We were also orphans once. But, now we are adopted into the kingdom! I have been so blessed to see all the photos that the Lorentzon's have posted in recent days. Now that they are parents I see a new glow on their faces. I couldn't help myself. All those pictures just screamed to me, "Tamara, make a slide show!" So I did. I can never send large files over e-mail. I decided to place this on my blog for mama and papa to enjoy....as well as any other passer by. :)
