Dear friends through adoption,
In my adoptee fantasies, I saw myself as an abandoned infant on a stainless steel gurney.
What I found out through my search, however, was that Dr. W.B. Fillinger from Ovid, MI, was the doc who delivered me.
About 20 years ago, when I reached his granddaughter in my search, she said, “He was an orphan, you know….and he wept at the birth of every baby.”
So, looking back, I see God’s faithfulness in sending a fellow-adoptee doc to be there a welcome me to the world with tears of joy.
