As a little girl, I loved baby dolls. Loved them! I played school, adoption agency, daycare operator and babysitter all day. I felt like I was born to be a mama. I was a bit anxious when the age 22, 25, 28 and 32 came and went and there were no babies.
My day finally came at the age of 34. And I realized God knew what He was doing when He had me wait. To my shock, it wasn’t as easy as playing adoption. I was surprised! I felt like life became one continuous prayer, “God HELP me!” Besides God, what I found, most helpful was being surrounded by other moms. Moms who were exactly where I was and moms who had been there and done that. Joining myself with others has allowed me to wade through my questions, worries, doubts and celebrate the JOYS!
