In my short time as the father of an adopted child, I have come to realize that adoption is a gift. It is a gift that is both received and given.
We received the gift when it became apparent that God was opening the door for us to become parents by means of adoption. We were able to give that gift to our daughter who had wanted to be adopted for so long.
Tonight I watched her work on addition and subtraction in her workbook. Then we watched part of the Lion King in Cantonese and a music video in Mandarin. She sang along in Mandarin and enjoyed it.
I don't know what lies ahead for our daughter but I do know that her world has changed through adoption. Her horizon has broadened and before her lies all the wonders that life has to offer.
I can't wait to see what waits down the road for her and for us.
