I am reminded today of the intricacies of God's plans. He knits us together in our mother's womb. He also knits our hearts desires and our journey toward adoption. I remember as a young girl being introduced to adoption in many beautiful and wonderful ways. From my favorite Red Head BFF as a little girl to the baby girl that my Aunt's friend adopted from China. To a husband who's heart was always for the orphan, to unexpected circumstances that changed us, molded us, and allowed us to take the journey to our forever family. I am so thankful that even in spite of our best laid plans, God has a plan for us and He lovingly takes our hand to direct us along the way.
