And it is absolutely true.
A woman in her early 40's found herself pregnant. She was having a hard time financially and was having trouble with drugs and all that lifestyle entails. She was a waitress at a restaurant and asked one of her regular customers to find an adoptive family for her baby. They did, but she went into labor very early. She and the baby both nearly died (he weighed 2 lbs). This experience, this nearly losing her child, caused her to keep her "unwanted baby," and to get her life straightened out. This happened four years ago and today she is a sober, productive, loving mom serving God. Her baby is a strong healthy four year old boy.
The regular customers who found an adoptive family were my parents. The almost-Adoptive family was my brother and his wife who passed away two years ago. They adopted three boys shortly after this incident. My brother would have had a hard time with a two year old at his wife's death, but the three brothers were just what he needed to get through that difficult time. And three little boys now have a family that wouldn't have had otherwise.
God knew what He was doing. This child conceived under the worst of circumstances was just what God used to bring a soul to Him. Babies really are from God no matter what it looks like to us.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.
I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)
Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
