As we journey through this adoption process, I always find strength in hearing other family's stories. Well, imagine my delight when I came upon this video today where Rev Run (of rap group Run DMC) TRANSPARENTLY shared their family's adoption journey at Catalyst West. I loved every single bit of this because it was from a man's perspective. You see, I know what we think about as women as we travel this adoption journey, but it was so great to hear Rev Run (ya know...a real dude) share what the adoption journey was like for him. Trust me, all 3 videos are worth viewing.
From Tragedy... (Part 1)
To Love... (Part 2)
**....and please (smile) don't ride him about his comment about loving his adopted child more than his biological children. Take it into context and what he's really trying to articulate....in the beginning, he didn't know if he could love his adopted child the same way he loved his biological children. In fact, he discovered that he loved Miley more than he could have ever imagined.
A Dad's Perspective (Part 3)
Whether a family decides to adopt a baby or a teenager, he's right -- adopting a baby (a child) will blow your mind! Can't wait to see when our daughter gets here how she turns this testosterone-dominated house into a pile of mushiness! (smile) I'll keep you updated.
Big hugs,
