What if...

God has been working on my heart lately. Here is a poem I found on one adoption website (www.allgodschildren.org) that really spoke to me. I hope it speaks to you as well.

What if...
No one cared that you had been born?
No one saw your first smile or encouraged your first steps?
You never felt a mother's love or a father's embrace?
You longed for a family that never came and hoped for a home that lived only in your dreams?


Orphaned children are all over the world waiting...hoping...praying that they will become dear to someone.
That somewhere there will be one special family that finds joy and great delight in welcoming them into their home.
Each one waits expectantly, with a hopeful heart for a family to come, each tiny soul daring to rehearse secret dreams for the future...
Is there room in your heart for a child?

There isn't too much to report on where we are in the adoption process. We received our massive formal application packet in the mail this past week which will take a bit to fill out.

Keep praying for Mr. Spreadsheet Man... ;)
