Pat Robertson, weirdness, and love
“A man doesn’t want to take on the United Nations, and a woman has all these various children, blended family, what is it – you don’t know what problems there are. I’m serious. I’ve got a dear friend, an adopted son, a little kid from an orphanage down in Columbia. Child had brain damage, grew up weird.” – Pat Robertson

I am weird.
Aly is weird.
Aiden is weird.
Christy is weird, too (although maybe not as weird as the rest of us).
Mihret is weird.
Sounds like a perfect fit. I don’t care what Pat Robertson says.
Is international adoption for everyone? Nope. Does it involve broken children? Yup. It has to. There can’t be an adoption without loss. And that leads to brokenness. But that’s OK. Every member of our family is broken. That’s what makes us beautiful. Because in order to make this thing work, it’s going to take a whole lot of love.
And we have plenty to share.
