I just found this blog post (http://thecheerfulgiver.wordpress.com/2010/09/08/a-new-paradigm) and thought she did a wonderful job of explaining how and why people like us are adopting, and why we ask for help.
This is my favorite part: "...I would say, you are under no pressure to pay for someone else’s child. But if you stop to think about it, wouldn’t you like to help pay for Jesus’ child? For his children? Wouldn’t you like to join the behind-the-scenes army that, while not necessarily equipped to bring orphans into their own homes, have been equipped to help bring them into a permanent home, with a permanent family, where they will be raised with love and dignity, in the knowledge of the Lord? Because in reality, that’s the bottom line of what the adoption movement is all about."
We have been so thankful for the support of our friends and family!
