The pictures are of the first days I met my adopted children…and to think, I didn’t really have much faith in my ability to “parent” 4 children. As far as being kind, compassionate, and supportive; well I knew I could handle that…but God said, if I order your steps and you follow the plan I have for your life, then if I bring you to it, I’ll bring you through it!

1. I apologize to them
2. I provide them with a safe place within our home and in therapy to process their emotions
3. I never talk bad about their bio families
4. I support them in all of their endeavors and allow them to be creative
5. I communicate effectively with them
