Me with my latest addition.
I don't know how other adoptive moms feel - probably a mix of emotions as unique as the individual and circumstances - but being an adoptive mom has been very challenging for me. Probably because the biomom in this situation is my sister; I am acutely aware of the loss that underpins this relationship. A mother is without her child and a child is without her biological mother. In many ways, I will never be enough. Of course, this only reminds me that I was never enough to begin with. I wasn't enough for my biological children either. I'm flawed and finite. I'm spread too thin most of the time. I'm supremely grateful for my faith which reminds me that most of the best work I do as a mother is prayer and pointing my kids to Jesus.
