It's coming up, on Monday November 9th and we are having a little shindig tomorrow because we are aware. We are aware of adoption and what it could mean for a child who is facing a bleak future. It's hard enough for a child just to be a child under normal circumstances but for a child who is alone to be facing the many ups and downs of life cannot be easy. The term Waiting Child speaks of so much loneliness and uncertainty. The reason we adopted was because we thought if more people stood up and too in one child there would be no more orphans, no more waiting children, no more loneliness.
Draw a smiling face on your palm in support of World Adoption Day and consider if you could could bring a child home and stop the waiting for that one child.
I used to think that people who adopted, especially those who already had children were some special people, or rich people who lived and breathed their religion and then I realized they are just people like you and me, just ordinary people whose eyes and hearts were open to love a waiting child.
