Protecting Lily

We've only been home 3 months and in just a short time I have come face to face with the harsh realities of adopting a child from another country. I knew it would happen...but nevertheless, it saddens me deeply...I wonder how I will be equipped to deal with the questions and comments. Will I have the right answers at the right time? Will I accidentally share too much of Lily's "private" story somehow exploiting her in the pursuit of honesty or will I become jaded and angry and strike back in equal rudeness. How will I be able to help Lily deal with people's questions and comments?

Lord, help us to protect our precious daughter Lily. We love her so much.

Love,
Kim

Hi Kim,
I'm so sorry you and Lily have already had to deal with this. I worry all the time about the racism that Izzie will surely have to confront in the US. I am praying for you and with you!
Love,
Kathy
