I am a sucker for movies made for tweens. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, 10 Things I Hate About You, Aquamarine. Today, I got suckered in to watching Soul Surfer for probably the 5th time. I find the movie so inspiring, with the perfect amount of cheesiness. I can't wait until I have kids old enough to enjoy cheesy teen movies with me. One line that resonates with me from the Soul Surfer Movie is:
"I don't need easy. I just need possible."
Even though I had been warned, I have learned the hard way that adoption from foster care is not easy. Even once the children are home with us, it will still not be easy. I just need to know it is possible. It is reassuring to me that a couple from our adoption class just brought home two wonderful, healthy boys yesterday! They are now a family. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a twinge of jealousy. But I know that those were the children for them, and ours are out there somewhere. Their recent adoption reminded me that it is possible.
