I just read this on my particular e-group for people adopting from Liberia. I thought it was very appropriate to share.
"You aren't just adopting because of 'us' or 'the children in Liberia.' You are doing this because of God. He is the One who lays this on our hearts, He is the One we are obeying when we answer the call. They are His children, He is their Father. We do this for Him. Praying that we will bring glory to Him above all. Let's be thankful to Him for all things. And as we rejoice or grieve over each step that is accomplished or not accomplished, let's remember that NOTHING compares to the greatness of knowing Jesus Christ our Lord. Let's show mercy and grace to each other. Grieve with those who grieve and rejoice with those who rejoice, but above all, Glorify Him!"

Yes, that is so true about everything we do in life. Do it for the glory of God. I'm sure that was refreshing to you in the midst of this whole process. Know that you inspire love in all of people who know you and are following your journey.
