Adoption Thoughts: Dec 2007

Adoption by MacKenzie:
Adoption has changed me because when you adopt it gives a
really good feeling in your heart. The feeling feels like
you’ve done something right and that you should do it again
because so many children are out there in the world who
don’t have any families.
Like when we adopted Mylie I felt like I was truly a big
sister. A big sister is fun to be because you have this
little sister that’s littler than you and you pretty much
never have been a big person in your family before. And now
that you’re a big sister you can actually do stuff that’s
older and take care of your little sister or brother.
When our family adopted Mylie it felt like it was this whole
new world that was going to change my old world. And I was
a little bit scared because I was afraid she wouldn’t like
us at all. But as days came and went it felt like Mylie was
trusting me and Dani more and more. And now, she really
likes us and I love her and am so happy she is in our
family.
Before, I was kind of mean sometimes. Now that we adopted
Mylie I am becoming a kind hearted person because when I
first saw Mylie I felt this good feeling in my heart. God
helped me through everything that I was worried about and
helped me be as kind as I could.
And now that we can have our first Christmas together, I am
so happy because it will be really fun with a two year old
that doesn’t know anything about Christmas. Now she can
start learning about Christmas and Jesus, born on Christmas
day.
If I could I would say to people, “The best thing to do,
probably, is to adopt a child because like I said before
there are so many children in the world that need help or
are very sick and need families. I’m glad that Mylie is in
our family now!
