Last year something happened that changed my life forever. If this event did not happen, nothing about my life would be the same. I would have different memories, different experiences and different people in my life. This was a life changing experience, and everything is different. Sometimes I think, what if? What if we decided that this wasn't the right thing for us? Although this thing did change everything about my life, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Last August, we officially adopted my little sister Haven. She has changed every part of my life. At times, it's difficult. At times I feel like it may be easier without an extra sibling to watch after and take care of. At times it gets hard and I wonder how things would be different if this didn't happen. But those are just temporary feelings in an eternal love. Haven is my precious little sister and I thank God that he placed her in my life. Yes things may be different and maybe even easier if we didn't adopt her, but she's God's child and we're called to take care of everyone. She is now in a much safer environment, we have not only blessed her, but she has blessed us.
If we didn't adopt her, I may have been able to spend more time with friends. If we didn't adopt her, I may have had more free time. But if we didn't adopt her, I wouldn't be the person I am today. If I could go back to the day we met her, I wouldn't change a thing.
