John:14:18

I will not leave you as orphans. I will come for you...John 14:18
This is a sweet reminiscence of our adoption journey to our son.

My eyes have been opened

With the loss of another little one... I have to wonder... How many more? How many more will die before they have a family? How many already have died alone not knowing love? How many more will live a life worse then death. Did you know the children in China age out at 14?!? Fourteen! Most of the kids commit suicide in the first year. The ones that don't commit suicide, end up in sex rings, drug crimes, and living on the streets.
The decision to adopt was finalized after I came across this scripture. I had been doing research and came across Rees's Rainbow. http://reecesrainbow.org/new-family/thechildren. My heart broke for these little kids. My heart changed in that moment and then I read this scripture.
Have your eyes been opened?
