Today's guest blogger is sharing about a situation that happened today with her adopted daughter, Anastasia, who suffers from attachment disorder. This is a very trying season for Karen, teaching her daughter how to love and how to feel, and I was moved to tears by her account. Karen says that "sometimes, love isn't enough." But I say, everything Karen and her husband are doing for this child is love, and one day it will all be a demonstration that "love never fails!"
Wow... where do I start ? The last few days have been tough. Healing hearts is a very tiring, hard, and frustrating job! When you adopt older kids you adopt all the baggage that comes with them. Many people don't know how hard it is to parent a child like this. Many people feel that you bring them in and "just love" them and that will be enough. Even with us adopting kids from dissolved adoptions many people around us think... all you have to do is love them. Well, I am here to tell you that "Love is NOT enough."

Awhile back, I featured a story of Isaac, the Uganda "arrow" whose parents died when he was a child and who wants to make a difference in Uganda. Isaac and his two siblings, Lionel and Penny, are being given the opportunity to go to school and to have a future. Today, we can join in helping them!
