"Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and injustice when He could do something about it. But I'm afraid God might ask me the same question."
David Platt quote
Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names.They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms.But once you do, everything changes. David Platt
“Once our eyes are opened, we can’t pretend we don’t know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act.” Proverbs 24:12

Death of a blog
So anyway I've known in my heart of hearts for a while now it was coming and here it is. The definite "Oh thank God" when I said I didn't know if I should keep going looking to adopt. The final nail in the coffin. Cant write anymore just now.
Dont give up! I made the mistake of trying to talk my husband into it by bugging him about it, then someone told me to just let it drop and let him think about it. I did and 6 months later he surprised me on my Birthday and gave me the "go ahead". It took me a total of 6 years to get it!! We just adopted our second one this past March. Dont give up.
Thank you Julie; I am overwhlemed by the number of emails I'm getting saying similar. I', so glad you commented, it's reassuring. :) God has it in hand, so whatever happens, I'm okay with that. Hugs
