This Thing raises an interesting issue:
If I could do anything, I would love to adopt internationally. Yes, I know the shpiel about adopting domestically, and that’s wonderful and all, but with international orphans, one’s life literally hangs on the brink. Adoption may be the very thing separating that child from life or death. I pray everyday that one day we will adopt one of our children internationally. After all, we are all orphans in Christ, and He has so graciously loved us and become our Father (James 1:27).
