This is from an ABC News headline today. Every time I hear stories like this, my heart breaks. All that I can think of is that this may be my son or daughter, literally.
We have finished everything in the adoption process that is in our control. Now, we are waiting on India to respond. I am trying to wait patiently. I am trying to enjoy the good life with my family I do have while I wait. I don't want to miss out on right now because I am so consumed with getting my children home. But there is definitely an urgency that propels my heart and it takes discipline for me to focus on the now. Stories like this make it nearly impossible.
Would you take a minute today and pray with me for the children of India? Two of them will be mine someday, but all of them hold a place in my heart.
I just watched this interview too -- it's getting so I'm afraid to buy anything made outside the USA, because I hate to think of who might've been exploited. There is a bill in parliament right now that states no child under 14 should be employed . . . I will be praying that it passes quickly, and more importantly, that the police enforce it.
