I wish I knew how to be a better advocate for adoption. I feel living what we feel is right, is the first step. With it's challenges and joys, we are doing that - we've adopted 2 great kids 2 yrs. ago. I haven't gotten up on stage anywhere to speak about it, or done anything dramatic to encourage others in relation to it - but many have. Listening to Steven Curtis Chapman's appeal for helping orphans at one of his concerts years ago, deepened a desire in my own heart - and ultimately we followed through with that desire by adopting ourselves. I came across these incredible websites, and hope you take the time to go through them yourself. Not all of us are "called" to adopt - but all of us Christians are responsible to care for widows and orphans. (James 1:27) The blessings outweigh anything you might give! I can't imagine our family without the precious ones we adopted.
