--photo from Heart Gallery of America Inc.Oh I wish I had a 10 bedroom house in the country where I could give children forever families.
It breaks my heart. Check out this webpage. Each state has links where you can see children that are up for immediate adoption.

--My dad reminded me of this verse the other day.
I don't think I have the best writing skills out there. I struggle with putting my thoughts to words. But I find myself full of emotion, the kind that almost chokes your throat!
I am imagining children being in the foster care system from birth-age 18 without any one family to call their own.
Can you let you family provide that for someone!?
I would recommended Big Brothers Big Sisters for anyone that cannot make a full time life long commitment!!
It is an excellent program. I had the most wonderful 13 yr old girl for a bit over a year until we moved. I think she was even more of an encouragement to me that I was to her.
many blessing to you this weekend!

Great minds (and hearts) think alike. I posted about this very thing today. Josh and I wish we could just take them all!
It's so hard to look at their pictures and see their faces but not be able to help.
Blessings!

Rachel - you are definitely calling to a world where children need people with open hearts and arms - go for it! Love overcomes almost every obstacle - not exactly an original statement but as I "age" - sheesh that sounds like I'm a cheese! I do see more and more families where they just don't seem to like one another - love heals - you and your DH will be great healers!
