They post about their foster son’s straight-A report card.

You just had to stop yours from punching a hole in the wall.

They write blogs about adoption day.

You’re counting the hours until the next therapy session.

And comparison creeps in.

You start feeling like a failure.

Like you’re doing it wrong.

Like their story is more “successful.”

But here’s the truth:

Every child’s journey is different.

Every trauma is different.

Every victory looks different.

Don’t measure your worth by someone else’s highlight reel.

God didn’t call you to their journey — He called you to this one.

And He’s still at work in it.
