Today in our nation's capital, thousands have gathered to take a stand against abortion and March for Life. (This is an annual event that marks the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which has resulted in over 50 million babies being aborted.)
When your heart has been touched by adoption, like ours has, abortion becomes more than a news story. You realize it for what it is: a choice that could have been made by your child's birth mother. This is a realization that never fails to make me shudder at the very thought. It's a realization that always causes my eyes to well with tears and my heart to overflow with thankfulness. Thankfulness that my arms hold the precious child of my heart. Thankfulness that our house rings with the sounds of a three year old. Thankfulness for the blessing of adoption and forever families.
And, most of all, thankfulness for one very courageous woman. In spite of what it could cost her, she chose LIFE. Because of her choice, our family, our lives, and our hearts will never be the same.
