Christmas is a time for many families to reunite with their extended family, to reminisce, share the laughter, exchange gifts, and spread the love. Many times during these events, your adoptive children start asking lots of questions, such as, "Mom, how come I'm the only one with blonde hair, all the other people have dark hair?" or "Dad, why is my skin so much darker than everyone else in our family?" or "Why did you adopt me, did my mom not love me?"
Forever Families....God's Gift of Adoption by Natalie Sutyak, did an amazing job taking the child's focus off the "Why" and "How come" to the truthful fact of God's plan. Natalie explains that God created us all different; different hair, different colored skin, and even different languages, yet, He made us all the same in our hearts. No matter where we were born or where we came from, we are where we are supposed to be..... together, as a family. Natalie does a beautiful job helping the child realize that, "God picked you out especially for your mommy and daddy and picked your mommy and daddy especially for you." Even though we may have spoken different languages and had to learn to speak differently, LOVE is the same in any language. God created each one of us, loves us, and knows what's best for us. Therefore, we are now with our forever family!
