If you have the time…

Because these adults only have time:

Consider what information like this means to you.

Does it mean adopt?

Sponsor?

Pray? (Oh, definitely pray!)

Go and help yourself?

Love those near to you so it doesn’t happen here?

Or wait, retirement homes are often so much like this… so maybe responding to this means go and visit some retirement homes.

Or prisons.

It’s not a long post that I’ve linked to. Please read it. It’s not full of horrible images, but it does convey despair. It’s why I’m pretty sure we aren’t done with “just” four children. Because life isn’t about being comfortable or having a clean house or even getting quite enough sleep. It’s about loving each other. Even when that means sacrificing the safety of how your life is now.

  1. THANK YOU!! Thank you. That post drained me and depressed me and reminded anew why we can’t stop yelling. Ever.

  2. Wow. I saw similar living conditions when my husband and I went to Ukraine on an orphan care mission. It’s horrifying, really. I’m praying God brings us our next kiddo through adoption…soon! Husband just got a new job so maybe it will happen..we will see! Waiting for the go-ahead from God as we believe this is our calling.
