I wish I had more time to write about this, but I don't. My children have been battling pneumonia for what seems like an endless stream of weeks (Okay, so it HAS been...but who's counting) and I'm too tired to really form coherent thoughts. (And yes, they're finally better now. Thanks for asking. *wink*)
BUT I do want to point you in the direction of my bloggie friend, Courtney.
*Cue Rocky theme song*
Introducing Mom of 10... Passionate about fulfilling the call to both "store up treasures in heaven" and God's repeated command to "defend the fatherless".
Okay, so maybe it's more like the BarneyTheme song, right Court? (I know how you hate being put on a pedestal). ;)
Her heart for adoption, though, extends beyond the reaches of her own home as she's been raising money to help OTHER families bring home children they're trying to adopt.
And honestly, I think it's AMAZING!!
The price (a ransom as her husband calls it) to adopt children is ASTRONOMICAL. Really, who has an extra $30,000 laying around? Yet. there are people who's hearts are so impassioned to love the millions of children up for adoption (one by one by one) that the personal expense to their wallets seems secondary.
So what can weWE do? DONATE. $5. $10. $100. Whatever. But know that as you do...as you give of yourself...you are enabling a family to LOVE a child that hasn't known what "FAMILY" actually means.
Our giving to this goes directly to bringing a child home. Read her blog. Hear her heart. and if you so feel inclined, give.
(apparently there are prizes, as people from etsy have gotten involved!! but being that I'm not read up on Blogdom, you'll have to read that for yourself. *grin*)
