A wonderful cause...

Ok, so people who know me well know that I love children. If you know me well, you also know I always wanted to have children of my own, but also always felt I wanted to adopt some children as well. Have two and adopt two was my plan. And because I love little Asian children so much, I wanted "Chinese babies." Well, I am not having any children any time soon because we are not ready but I wanted to devote some time towards my cousin who is ready and wanting to adopt a little girl from China. My cousin Angela, her husband Chip, and their son Miles are trying to raise money to adopt a little girl.

I think this is so wonderful that every time I think of it, I get excited. I think adoption is an amazing thing in this life. There are millions of children who need homes. These children, through no fault of their own may never feel the loving embrace of a parent. Is there anything more Biblical than adoption? Are we not adopted by God? There is only one begotten Son, thus we as God's children are all adopted through election. As I am not a missionary by any worldly standards, I find it hard to use that word but I feel adoption is a true missionary act. To bring someone into your home and into your family is an act of true Christianity. Thus is boggles my mind to hear that there are people who do not support adoption. We are all entitled to our opinions. However, on this blog, I support adoption. If it weren't for adoption, I may not be here because in case you didn't know, my mommy was adopted. :)

The irony of the process of adoption is that while there are millions of children without homes, it costs a fortune to bring one of them into your family. I understand that people must ensure that the children are going to good homes, but "good home" does not always mean "wealthy home." Angela and Chip have set up a website for people to visit in order to hear their story and to donate if they wish. I know it is hard for them to ask people for money, as it is for all of us. But this is truly a wonderful cause, an amazing mission to bring some little girl into their home. Angela and Chip are such sweet people and are very patient and understanding parents. Their little Miles is one of the sweetest little boys I've ever seen. They are excellent candidates for adoption.

I have put a link to their website on the right side of my page. Feel free to visit it, as well as tell your friends about it. Also, Angela is a spectacular photographer and there is a way for you to help through her photography business called "Angela's Portraits."

Please check out their site and send it on to your friends. All you need is love! dadadadadum....
