Yesterday I stepped off a plane at the Birmingham Airport...home at last!! It's amazing to me how at home I feel here. After years of searching for something to fill the void of losing my biological family, I've always found peace here. I am adopted as many of you know, and that began such a time of healing in my life. To know that someone "wants" for you to be family in the midst of all the turmoil, in spite of all the pain you carry. It's crazy to have people who don't know much about me open their arms and welcome me in. It took many years for me to accept that they were not the same as my biological family...they wouldn't leave just because they could, but they have stayed through the worst and the best....we stick together and that is something to be grateful for.
So as we pulled into the driveway...I ran open armed into the arms of family that will always love me, that will always be there....and that....is my saving grace.

Hey girl...If you are talking about Birmingham, Alabama (and I'm assuming you are), that's where I live! I actually live about 15 minutes from the airport. It would be super cool to do coffee with you or something like that. I'd love to talk about Africa with someone! Email me if you are still in town - ambermarie02@gmail.com. =)
