IS IT WORTH IT?

What is your answer to this question?

Is the weight gain, swollen limbs,

nausea, and the long 

hours of labor worth it?

Most would say Yes!

Is the broken arm, wrecked knee,

and long hours of practice

worth it?

Most would say Yes!

Is the joy, pride,

legacy, and the time spent

worth it?

Most would say Yes!

I have heard this question many times as 

we travel this road of adoption.

 I do not remember 

signing or reading a document 

that guarantees 

"Everything  that is worth it, will be easy."

I do not remember having that much control

over what happens

that I can choose and pick

which life altering change

I can deal with at that time!

Is living life and 

trying to make every minute count

worth it?

Is seeing the face of the people 

you love, worth it?

 Is hearing the words that 

you are loved, worth it?

Is falling into the arms 

of someone who 

makes you feel safe

worth it?

So If we have to do finger prints and

FBI backgrounds checks again,

so be it!

If we have to fill out another 

document that states 

that we live here and work for them,

So be it!

If we have to change our

selfish ways to love

another beautiful soul 

so be it!

If we have to pay to have all

this paper work walked to 

the office it needs to be

so be it!

If we have share our time

with someone in need of it

so be it!

If we have to wait,

so be it!

I am here to tell you that it is all worth it.

To love and to have a person apart of

your family is always worth it!

To leave a print of love on their soul to match yours!

I believe that it is worth it!

I believe that everyone should have a place that they call home.

I believe that we are able and longing 

to make this dream come true 

for this little girl.

So love, patience, kindness, long suffering

are they worth it, to see the change of one soul?

Is it worth it be connected to people?

My answer is Yes!

That is my final answer!
