So True

This was posted in one of my adoption groups.

You know you are an adoptive mother (or you should be!) if:

1. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to kiss them
goodnight has ever made you lose sleep.
2. You realize DNA has nothing to do with love and family.
3. You can't watch Adoption Stories on TLC without sobbing.
4. The fact that if 7% of Christians adopted 1 child, there would be no orphans in
the world is convicting to you.
5. You spend free time surfing blogs about families who have experienced the
blessing of adoption.
6. It drives you crazy when people ask you about your adopted child's "real" parents.
7. You have ever been "pregnant" with your adoptive child longer than it takes
elephant to give birth (2 years!)
8. You had no idea how you would afford to adopt but stepped out in faith anyway
knowing where God calls you He will provide.
9. You have ever taken a airplane ride half way around the world with a child you
just met.
10. You believe God's heart is for adoption.
11. You realize that welcoming a child into your heart and family is one of the most
important legacy's you could ever leave on this earth.
12. You shudder when people say your child is so lucky that you adopted them,
knowing full well you are the blessed one to have them in your life.
13. You know what the word Dossier means and you can actually pronounce it!
14. You have welcomed a social worker into the most private parts of your life.
