That guestion has crossed my mind often over these last 2 years. Before we started this adoption process, I might have said, oh...... (after tithing) I'd take a long vacation with all of my kids and I'd buy them all a new car. I would get out of debt (including the mortgage) then retire on what was left. But, now I feel with what we have been doing with the adoption, I think that one of the first things I would really want to do would be to adopt as many children as I would be allowed to. It is sooooo overwhelming to see that there are so many children in this world without a family. I never really thought about the numbers until we started this adoption. It is really heart wrenching to KNOW how many children need a home. I look at some of the faces of these kids on various adoption websites and think to myself, I wish I could give her/him a home. I think about the children that are at the orphanage with Birgit and just want to bring them all home with me. Especially this one little boy, Raiko. He has a heart problem. I would never have guessed it when I met him. He was very polite and a happy little boy and energetic. He just looked so much like he needed someone to sweep him up and take him away to a family. Could I request of anyone who reads this site that you pray for him to find a family? I don't mean that he is any more special than others of that particular orphanage. He just kind of planted himself in my heart that day I was visiting with Birgit and I would love to see him get a home.
