Becoming More Real to Your Kids
Posted on February 17, 2010 by The Tapestry Team
Michael Monroe wrote an article in the February 2010 issue of Adoption Today entitled Becoming More Real to My Kids. The article focuses on how important it is for parents to fully embrace their children, including those difficult and painful aspects of their stories. By doing so, parents have the opportunity to forge a stronger and deeper connection with their kids, and help them better understand how God is at work in all of our lives.
As Michael writes in the article, “The difficult reality is that but for the difficult realities of my children’s past we would not be the family we are. I love who we are and who they are. I love all of each of them. So instead of running from these things, I want to choose to run toward them, hand in hand with my kids. By doing so I believe I have the opportunity to become even more “real” to them, and to make more real the redemptive story that God is writing with our lives.”
