    Wow!! So shockingly beautiful! We are that unlovely child upon whom the Lord has placed his love.
    I am a mother who has adopted two children through foster care. I am also a sister of two siblings who were adopted through the foster system. The journey may be difficult at times (the Lord’s sanctifying work in us), but the power of God can transform even the hardest of hearts! I have witnessed it in my own life and the life of these precious kids.

    I’m so glad we didn’t succumb to the voices of the naysayers who made similar comments you mentioned while we were pursuing our foster care license. Our kids have been a blessing beyond measure. Yes, these ones. A million times over!

    Dear Emma,
    I LOVE love love this article so much and have told a few women of my bible study group about it this morning. (We’re currently studying 1. John). Would you allow me to translate it into German and include and refer to it in my blog? (I’m living in Germany. So it’s a German blog).
