I'll teach them yearning is good

This morning I attended an Adoption Options seminar at Phoenix Children's Hospital. One adoptive mom who is also an adoptive advocate said something that touched my heart.

She had a yearning to be a mom to a daughter.

She also talked about knowing which child was her daughter - the knowing deep inside her soul.

I yearn.

Yearn is a verb that doesn't get a lot of attention in our world.

I'd like my children to know that yearning for something creates a desire that WILL be fulfilled.
