I thank you for it.

So adoption was a more ready alternative for her than it is for some folks today.

But when they prayed about adopting, they felt strongly that for whatever reason, the Lord directed that they should not become parents.

They faced a lot of social pressure to adopt, and her husband was criticized for his performance as a bishop by people who thought he could not understand the realities of raising a family. So they paid a price for the confidence of her awesome statement.

It was ward conference and all the stake visitors came to our class. I remembered reading this lesson yesterday and gave the whole thing (minus the prepared visual aids). It was perfect! Julie, you are so much more in touch with the youth than the manual writers.

I changed the word “mother” in the Ardeth Kapp quote to “Parent” but ran it the same, sans handouts. We had good participation from the boys and the boys had some good pulls for scriptures.

I felt impressed to spend a little more time than the outline indicates talking about how important good parents are. I said that no one walks into a house and thinks, “Wow, the electricity in here is really great!” It’s only when the power goes out that we think about the electricity! I spoke about the (brief) time when we were foster parents and shared with the girls some examples of behaviors I saw in the children that resulted from them not being adequately parented–the point being that those of us surrounded by good examples of parenting tend not to appreciate its importance. But it really, really matters.

I was pleased that the lesson had every single girl participating (eliminating the least important way to prepare and then sharing a trait of Jesus’ and how it could help parents).

Thank you for posting your ideas! I’m so glad I found this post while preparing my lesson! I’m going to use this, this month for one of my lessons! I also made one of your quotes into a handout… “you can’t google christ-like attributes and develop them in five seconds.” Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful lesson!

If I had had one leader say to me in YW that childlessness and infertility were real life problems and that my divine worth isn’t determined by my ability to have children it would have saved me A LOT of heartache. it’s so important to teach these young girls that being a mother is divine and amazing but so is being a righteous daughter of God.

We weren’t encouraged to be cookie cutter girls, but girls seeking divinities hand in mapping out our future. As the years have gone on that message got lost. It makes me sad to see it’s loss. I am so glad you found that quote because I am going to spread it far and wide. Young Women, Middle aged Women, Single Women, Old Women need this desperately. Thanks Julie.

Those YW have no idea how cool of a lesson this is.
