He has no chance of adoption by U.S. parents, thanks to Putin and his "concern". I think about him everyday and mostly, cry that I cannot help. I've hit roadblock after roadblock trying to support him without supporting the institutionalization of children. The world needs a paradigm shift. They need to see the value in all children, not just the lucky ones born without visible disabilities. You are a part of that shift.

She has never married, would love to be, but just keeps doing what she has been led to do. Before the adoption of the third, she asked me if I thought she was crazy. I told her she WOULD be crazy if she did not do what God was tugging at her heart to do. You go, girl!Johnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140599959296161154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373649301575623347.post-26425756904289435012010-08-11T00:42:46.923-04:002010-08-11T00:42:46.923-04:00You're living like Jesus.

"Why not adopt a foster child, they need a family".<br /><br />Short answer, we were not called to adopt a foster child. I do not think I was led to RR July 2006 for no reason, there was a plan, show me the suffering children without the love of a mommy and daddy and I cannot stand by and do nothing. God knew all He had to do was make me aware of the children. HIS children, children who could not live a full life where they were born. We brought two precious little girls home, we HAD to, end of story.Arizona mom to eighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875806984101641881noreply@blogger.com
