I’ve lost count. Pam and I have so many friends who have adopted children, or are in the process of adopting kids into their families. Friends in Michigan, friends in Colorado, friends in Oklahoma. Kids originally from Michigan, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Korea.
An example of this is Jay and Jen’s site which tells the amazing story of their journey to parenthood.
I read somewhere (maybe Shane Claiborne?) who said, if you are really PRO-Life then you need to be about all that that means. And that’s going to mean that somebody’s going to be adopting some kiddos along the way, not just voting conservative republican.
I’m really proud to be on the journey with these friends, several of which Pam and I would consider family. Amazing stories and amazing people. People who are uniquely living into the restoration of all things and the establishing of the kingdom of God.
For the readers of the blog, who are yet to be friends, we are all proud of God’s redemptive work in you and your great love for your kids.
For those of us who are not presently adopting kids, it is upon us to come along them and support these folks and walk with them as they raise all their kids in the way of Christ.
Let us be a people who live with an awareness of our responsiblity here.
