I'm often interested in seeing things from another person's perspective. I think it's the 'caretaker' in me as a friend has called it. Adoption is no different. While I understand the emotions that an adopting family goes through, it's important for me to grasp the emotions of a birth parent. This morning I stumbled across this video. While there's not a whole lot of explanation that goes with the video, I do recognize that there are probably two mothers and at the end of the day, all that really matters is the love for this one little amazing girl. Thank you Lord for the courage and selfless love of this birth mother and thank you for the selfless love of this adopting mom. May they all be richly blessed for loving generously like you.

Hi Michelle,
I'm Molly, from the garage sale a couple years ago. Just wanted to let you know that you and the adoption have been on my heart. I'm praying for you!
Molly!!!! It's so great to see you on the blog. Thanks so much for your support and continuing to check in and pray for us. It's appreciated more than you'll ever know. I can't believe our paths crossed the way they did but boy am I grateful!
