But it is also sin to do this (sin is always easier!). Like the good samaritan, we need to look over, cross the street, bend down and get our hands/lives dirty and help.<BR/>Thankyou for sharing your heart and passion here. I am praying for you --for God to lead and equip you in your mission. And I am praying for me, that he would show me what work He has for me.<BR/>Love you friend,<BR/>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-3218104666448859032007-07-02T07:47:00.000-07:002007-07-02T07:47:00.000-07:00I agree with Joni that many people are put off fro...I agree with Joni that many people are put off from pursuing adoption by the costs. Thanks for sharing about this book. I'm going to direct my sister to this post as well.<BR/>Bless you!<BR/>RebecaRebecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289672288435566060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-24376200427214930442007-07-02T05:28:00.000-07:002007-07-02T05:28:00.000-07:00This sounds like a book I would like to read.

I think one of the reasons many people don't adopt is the cost is so high?!<BR/><BR/>Reading this post reminded me of the books by Dave Pelzer, the first one is called "The Lost Boy." Have you read those? They were hard to read too.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373225130119402444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-76043504548114615962007-07-02T02:33:00.000-07:002007-07-02T02:33:00.000-07:00Oh, Stacy!

Just thinking about these hurting little babies breaks my heart. On the other end of the spectrum, I'm watching one of my best friends right now go through such heartache over 2 of her little ones, who are so damaged by all that their birth mother did to them. Hard, hard stuff. What a comfort to know that He is so compassionate toward orphans.Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551928495021834461noreply@blogger.com
