Good Things... Come from Good Parents?
We all have to realize that although now we are adults, we were born infants, grew into toddlerhood... and eventually were nourished enough somewhere to become pre-teens. Fortunately for most of you out there, you had the same parents the whole time, the same caregivers to give you all the love and devotion and attention you could ever need to grow into who you are today, and what you stand for is based on the experience you had as a child.
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."Proverbs 22:6.

Unfortunately, we as children can not choose our parents. We are born in this world through the way the Lord has chosen. Some of us are in our mother's arms only hours, some only days or weeks, and some never get a chance to be held at all. There is something to be said of those children who are removed from the first bond ever implemented by the Lord. It is my belief from my experience that a Mother's bond is created far before her child is born. Sadly, there are some in this world who were not made to be Mothers, although their body could fulfill the need, their heart, mind, or emotions interrupt that ability.
This does not mean, in my opinion that those who aren't meant to be mothers are wrong, or are bad people, or should never feel good about themselves. This simply means that those children should feel loved enough to have been given the chance to live their lives, at least their mother had enough concern to bring them to the point of birth... or beyond. Sometimes those people in this world who desperately want to be parents just can't physically make their own child. I believe this is because every child has a "family" out there, just sometimes that family is not the one they were born into. From personal experience, I personally felt that I wasn't born into my family from the time I met my first sister. I just honestly felt that the person yelling and screaming at me and leaving me with other adults wasn't the woman I was supposed to be pulled into different homes with.
