Thankyou boobymummy - that story was written by Patty Anglin,of Acres of Hope.Anyone here can read their book by the same name.She is the woman I heard that spoke at the adoption info meeting I attended at the Campbells church when we were in that area.It was a beautiful and true miracle story.IME the Campbells dds dont share all of the same views as I keep hearing the Campbells have and it just doesnt feel right to have it all lumped together and assume that anything associated with them is all wrong or yuck.some people really are convicted by God about being open to His blessings and that maybe they jumped the gun and didnt pray for His guidance when they did something permanent about birth control.It doesnt mean to me that it should then become a doctrine for all people to follow or a mandate to have as many kids as you possibly can.But then it doesnt seem right that people that have been convicted in this area should all be lumped together and kind of sneered at with others who might practice or believe in doctrines that they have nothing to do with - kwim? I want to have grace for others,no matter where they are,because I need it so much myself.It kind of struck me when someone made a comment about maybe inviting Anna D. here that so many negative comments have been made about them that she wouldnt want to come.
