Eyes

I should have also mentioned in my blog post yesterday...when I talked about choosing the egg donor who had the striking eyes, that her eyes looked nothing like mine or Dave's or my kids' eyes.  They were just beautiful. 

In reality, my daughter's eyes look like my eyes.   They are crazy beautiful blue, just like mine.  See, God has a plan.  He absolutely knows what he is doing!  I didn't always believe it when we were going thru the ups and downs of adoption and trying to grow our family.
I was so busy going in every direction trying to figure out how to grow our family and making myself (and those around me!) nuts in the process.  I wish I would have relaxed more and sat back and been patient for our baby girl to arrive...all in God's timing. 

P.S. Let me clarify....I am in no way saying that your adopted kids have to have the same eyes as you.
It doesn't matter at all.  I am just talking about the irony of my situation...that I wanted to pick this egg donor who had beautiful eyes that didn't look like anyone in my family.  Then we decided to pursue adoption, and our baby girl ended up having eyes that look like mine and my son Jacob!
