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!
