(He had 100+ 3rd degree burns from the bacteria.)<br /><br />We tell him to never be embarrassed of his scars. We call them his "Testimony Scars" ... they open many doors for him to speak his testimony ... that God saved his life, and healed his body ... that "God took me to heaven twice, and then let me come home."<br /><br />I know that your son's scars can be his testimony scars, as well.<br /><br /><br />Laurel :)Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628621471037646365.post-28526250392799414662012-05-01T15:32:02.650-05:002012-05-01T15:32:02.650-05:00Oh Robin....what a blog post!

I had to stop and ask myself if I could be that unselfish... I don't know if I could ever give up any of my children... but to save their life... I think only God can give a Mother enough strength to be able to do it. I pray that Joe can be filled with peace and gratitude and love toward his birth Mother... and to you.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244030849943671816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628621471037646365.post-32797350610812653752011-03-07T16:24:34.268-06:002011-03-07T16:24:34.268-06:00Wow.

Your Jo will be ok, because you will point him to Jesus, the only One in whom we can find our identity. His first Mama will be ok, too, because she will be covered in prayer by your family. Maybe one day he will be able to see her again. I pray that my son is able to meet his birth mama, who loved him enough to make the unselfish choice.For Such A Time As Thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762110172322143074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628621471037646365.post-23357379340946776282011-03-04T06:37:59.035-06:002011-03-04T06:37:59.035-06:00My heart aches and rejoice with what God has done ...My heart aches and rejoice with what God has done with Jo, and your family.

You truly understand that our children, whether given by birth or adoption, are not for us, but rather for God's glory. He is a good God, always a good God, even in the midst of hard circumstances. Jo is an African Warrior, I can see it in his eyes, I've seen it in the way he treats people, especially his siblings.
