8
years ago today we adopted Sarah in Nanjing China. I would love to say
it was easy, but it wasn't. It was one of the hardest things I've ever
done in my life. She had RAD (reactive attachment disorder). But we
have come a long way from the early dark days. I just spent some
wonderful days with her in America. That was great! But today she is
having melt downs over the homework she has to do before school starts
on Monday. Really, she does fine in school. But sadly there remains so
much self-doubt and fear. Even after 8 years. Let’s hope none of that
pain will remain in time. Was it worth it...yes! But real healing can
take years. People who adopt broken children should be prepared to
take a long journey. But I guarantee you it is worth the trip. She is a
pearl of great price, and I am so blessed to be her mom.
