Perspectives of Adoption: Broken

Broken.

This day.

This was the day I broke. I will forever be broken by it. This day I also broke the natural life process with my beautiful first baby and will also live with this forever...

I believe our brokenness can be mended though. We are all broken, not just we in the Adoption Triad, we live in a broken world. I don’t have time to write more today so I’ve included some quotes on Brokenness that have spoken to me not just now but for awhile. Please swipe through them, my favorite is @lrknost’s that I’ve included last. I’ve posted it before. It gives such hope and light - we are all light and can be mended! But it must be done with great love and intention. We must love big, ourselves and others. I challenge all to intentionally work daily to mend your brokenness and then let the light out! I will be broken forever but that doesn’t mean my cracks can’t be mended by the light.
