Several years ago, I never would have thought we would adopt. The financial implications of adopting scared us silly, and I just never thought we needed to adopt. But God had other plans. He showed us that we did need to adopt. Just because we had been able to have three biological kids and we had a "picture-perfect" family (at least we thought we did!), our hearts needed to grow to know more about God's love for us. We needed to put our faith into action. We needed to learn to trust God for more than what we control. And, a little boy named Isaiah needed a family.
So now, I want to just post another video that highlights the need for orphan care. It is emotional, and some might argue that it plays on people's emotions. That is probably true. But, the issue is emotional. And, we can do something to help. All of us are not called to adopt. But, we are all called to do something. And, who knows, maybe you are being called to adopt. Or foster. Or support someone else who is adopting. Or sponsor a child who will grow up in an orphanage. Or mentor a fatherless teen in a local middle school.
