PREGNANCY VS ADOPTION!

Different Scenario, Same Feelings!

It is amazing to me just how similar being pregnant and adopting are!!!  I remember back when my sister was pregnant with my niece Jasmine, and she was adopting Isabel, she told me countless times that it was such a similar feeling!  I always wondered if that was true, and I am here to tell you IT IS!  It really is!

When I was pregnant with Alexa, the entire time I prayed, and was scared that something would go wrong.  I was always so worried (for I knew I had medical issues that could cause problems).  During this adoption, I pray constantly and hope and pray that nothing goes wrong!

When I was pregnant I was SO excited!  I thought of what the baby would look like, what she would act like, how I would feel when I first saw her!  During this adoption I wonder the exact same things!  I sit back and try to imagine my life with the baby here!

A baby is a baby...and yes the process might be different (along with less pressure on my body), but the love, excitement and feelings are all the same!!!

Cannot wait to see my baby, and for Alexa to have a sibling :)

  1. The anticipation, the waiting, the love, the faith it requires.... All the same! When you see your child for the first time, the instant love... so much the same! It's all the same... they are all God's children, its just how He chooses to bring them to us that is different :)
