2 Days back, we had our first Baby Shower for the relatives. As usual, relatives will have a lot of 'DOs & DON'Ts' for you. But the best advise i heard that day is " you are the parent so you decide what do and what don't".
Some relatives were 'concerned' that family's friends are asking how come they did not see me pregnant and blah blah blah. They told me that i should not let people know that she is adopted, and maybe i should not post her photos so much on social media to avoid questioning and just 'lay low'.
Yes! I did not disappear from my friends and family members; hide from the world; delete my social media for 9-10 months so that people will think that maybe i was pregnant and they did not know, and i will definitely not stop posting photos of Zara or 'lay low'..
Because i will not for a moment be ashamed or embarrass of her!
And not for a moment will i ever want her to feel that we are not proud of her!
She is not an accident.
She is beautifully and wonderfully made in the image of God.
She is chosen, an elect, destined to be placed into this family and into His house (City Harvest Church)
She is now mine and i am her's
She will have everything i had planned and reserved for my child
Nothing less.
Everyday i am reminded of God's mercy and His goodness in her.
I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine!
