I know several moms who have gotten similar comments with regards to their adoptions and felt discouraged - I hope to share this with some of them, they will be heartened by the realization that they are indeed *not* asking too much, *not* being irresponsible or corrupt... they... we... are the good guys in yet another system that has its share of corruption. And if all the good guys were gone... who would be there to fight for what's right? We're not "feeding a corrupt system". We're fighting injustice. We're proving the worth of these kids. We're changing lives - and not just those of the children. I've heard countless stories of orphanage caregivers who have been touched and changed by the interactions of adoptive parents with their children and promise to carry that with them in the future. Were we to step away in order to stop "feeding the corruption"... who would open those hearts? What of the children? <br /><br />I know I'm preaching to the choir, but just saying, I totally agree with you and I love the way you put it into perspective. For what it's worth, I know where your son is (I'm not a creeper, I just know the Reece's Rainbow orphanage codes) and I know of several other families adopting from there right now. God is moving mountains in this place and you're a part of it. One child has already been delivered from this hell and is doing beautifully. Now, we keep on fighting until all her orphanage mates have forever families. The support behind you is incredible, and I'm glad you're not letting those naysayers tear you down.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025159780764988483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311306302831524772.post-53001600103702898602012-03-11T16:26:28.517-04:002012-03-11T16:26:28.517-04:00So much truth, thank you for putting it all in one...So much truth, thank you for putting it all in one place.
