I see stories of so many people who feel as if they don’t know who they are. They are looking for a connection to someone, another person, another part of themselves. They feel like they don’t belong where they are at this time. These people are adopted persons.
I hear how they, even if they loved their adopted family, don’t feel like they are loved, because they think their birth family gave them away, tossed them away, did not want them. Most times when they find them, they then find out they were given away in love. The mother or father was not in a place to provide, so they let them go to another who could give them what they needed.
I was adopted, but I never felt that way. I always know I was adopted, but I was told from the beginning that I was given in love, chosen in love and grew up knowing that love and care. I was secure in my childhood and am still secure in my life as an adult. I have found that I have 2 sisters, and an uncle, and have met one sister! That was a great day, not because I felt something missing, but meeting someone who went through the same process. They are my sisters.
I was taught from the beginning that I was chosen to be in my family. That God chose me and sent my mama and daddy to get me. I guess, since I had such a happy time, I had no reason or desire to find anyone else. I do understand others need to feel connected, but I already feel that way. I gladly accept new family into my life, we do have a connection after all, whether it is from a birth family here or God’s family.
I was adopted here, but we are all adopted into God’s family the minute we accept Him. This I was also taught as a child. With that in mind, maybe that is why I don’t feel incomplete. I feel love.

Spring is here, do you see it?
Do you feel it, do you smell it?
Freshly mown grass,
cool mornings and hot afternoons.
Summer arriving soon.
Buds on the trees, flowers poking up
new beginnings all around.
God’s promises are still true,
Another chance for us to start over,
trying our best to go where He leads us,
and continue our journey in this life
heading closer to Him.
