Thinking today about the huge need of families willing to adopt an orphan child
There are more than 150 million Orphans in the world,
Soooo many.......we will be adopting one......how can we help the rest??
The truth is that you don't need to adopt ,in order to help an Orphan Child.........you can sponsor a child (Compassion International, World Vision,etc) you can Pray ,Support adoption and Orphan Care ministry in your church, you can advocate for a "waiting child", be a "prayer warrior" or support families in process of adoption with Reece's Rainbow Adoption Ministry......
We can get very comfortable just convincing ourselves with thoughts like "they are tooo many", "whatever I do will not make a difference",etc, etc,....
