I haven't totally addressed our reasons for adopting yet but don't worry. I will. They are thoughts that are still in the works and I'll get there soon. What God says, though, speaks louder than anything I could ever say...
I have been reading everything possible lately about Ethiopian adoption. Finding websites, books, and a ton of amazing blogs. There are so many wonderful Christian families who are great resources! They are truly an inspiration to me because sometimes when I feel discouraged about the process that we have only just begun, I see something like this that fills me back up and gives me the motivation to keep going.
There are an estimated 147 million orphans in the world. Adopting one child will not change the world; but for that child, the world will change.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you, I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. Isaiah 43:5
Jesus said, "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:18
A father to the fatherless,
A defender of widows,
Is God in his holy dwelling.
God sets the lonely in families.
Psalm 68:5-6a
