I SAW WHAT I SAW AND CAN'T FORGET IT

Back in 2014, before we decided to adopt Ben, I was brought to my knees when the Lord showed me what was happening to orphans with special needs all around the world.  It was time for me to decide if I was going to be part of the problem or part of the solution...

And even though it has been 10 months since we brought Ben home, I think I am still processing things I saw and learned from our time at Ben's orphanage.  I had read about these precious children spending their days in orphanages, but now I was meeting some of these children in person.  I saw for myself the emptiness in their eyes, their longing to be loved and hugged, their excitement to have a "mama" and "dada" visit their room.   

These are things that I will never forget.   As I read in one adoption blog, you can't un-know what you now know.

So even though our adoption is done, I can't forget about the many more children that still need a family.  Ben is just one child- there are many more still waiting as he once was.  

Each of those children needs ONE FAMILY to step forward and claim him or her as their own.

ARE YOU THAT ONE FAMILY?
