As I was reading about adoption and families who have adopted, I came across the startling statistic that there are 147 million orphans in the world. What a heartbreaking reality!
For some, this overwhelming number may seem so huge that there is nothing we can do to fix it. While it is true that one family cannot "fix" the situation for these orphans, certainly it is better to do something. As I have looked through photolistings of children in foster care, my heart is broken for these children. They have experienced so much hurt in their young lives! It makes me want to adopt all of them, love them, help them to experience a new, peaceful family life.
I realize I cannot adopt them all, but our hearts have been changed forever. Pray for these children, and for families to love them!
