Children of God
There are days when I can't help but wonder if the birth mother of my children has even the smallest idea what she did to her children. The emotional damage that was caused by her abuse and neglect that will take years and years for them to overcome. Things the rest of us take for granted in our lives that my children missed in early childhood that have such a large impact. As I struggle with helping my children heal, helping them gain the self-esteem that they lost, and just an understanding of values, and Family, and a Heavenly Father who loves them. How long will it take their little hearts and souls to heal? As I sit holding my daughter during one of her hour long intense temper tantrums I can't help but wonder if she will heal. But after her anger is out and she begins the real, deep down, cleansing crying; and holds on to me for dear life instead of pushing me away, I see a glimpse of healing taking place and know that she will be well and whole someday. And we've just got to hold on tight until then.

Yes, hold them tight and they will heal. There will always be a little bit of pain that most of us, with the family we often take for granted, can not imagine. But they have joined a wonderful family, its large and loving and so much more supportive than most.
I am so glad that those kids are part of us now. I can only imagine the amount of joy you felt when they were sealed to you and Lamont. What a glorious day for you all!
The reward at the end will definiatly be seeing what wonderful people they will become, because they knew love. You are all blessed to have beat the odds and found eachother, it all goes back to Our Fathers Plan, how each little detour brought you closer to each other. I like to think that in Heaven long ago, you all sat together, and those sweet little spirits knowing the path that lie ahead of them said Mom, please find us. And even though at times you were ready to give up, you kept trying and you did find them. -love ya
