There are many choices in life I wish I had not made, but pursuing Daphne is not one of them. The outcome has been heartbreaking here, now. But it is not heartbreaking for her. She was loved passionately and pursued tirelessly and that friends, is worth it. She now lives with Jesus and her heart is not broken. There is nothing here to regret. Rather, I feel much sorrow that many nameless faces live and die without this love and pursuit. No matter how scary or riddled with unknowns a childs future may be, their life has great value and they belong in a family and they are worth pursuing. As I weep and my heart feels the crushing weight of loss, I can find grace and redemption even in that because it is evidence of something painfully beautiful: sweet Daphne did not die an orphan, but a beloved daughter. That is worth it. In all the pain that I cant even begin to explain, there is a beautiful truth of adoption revealed. That God enables you to love deeply and passionately and nothing is lacking there in that love. It is real. It hurts and yet I am thankful God allows my heart to feel like a mother, because thats the very thing sweet Daphne needed here on earth and God let me be that. All glory to God the creator of families. He is good. He is good. He is good. His love endures forever.
