What I love about my husband

My husband is constantly amazing me.
Today we were talking about a friend who going through a difficult time with their adoption process. We were talking about praying for this couple who may have to give up their referral (kinda long story please pray for them)
I told him all we could do is pray for them that God will make his will shown to them loud and clear. I know they love these kids with their whole hearts now. I have been there and loved our first referrals for a long time before we lost them.

I thought back to our first referrals how he was amazingly not devastated by loosing them like I was. What I came to realize was in his mind they were not ours and was not totally attached. He was open and willing to adopt them because it was right and he would have loved them but he just couldn't let himself get close to pictures of kids. All I can say is Thank You God for his feeling towards that whole experience. He was not cold, just guarded, I sometimes wish I had been more like him in that way. I don't think the kids could have gone through seeing both of their parents crying hysterically on the couch for days.

He then said the most touching thing I think I have ever heard come out of his mouth yet. "Now with our little man we have bonded with him, Loved him, played with, and accepted him. He is ours and we would wait years to bring him home if we had too. I've accepted him already as ours"

Now those words don't seem like much but coming from him that means " he's my son". That was huge to hear. I mean I knew that in my heart but his I wasn't so sure if he felt that way really or not yet.
If I have learned anything in this bumpy road journey it's that People surprise you along the way. They react differently and not always the way you think they would.
