A Calling

I know that not everyone feels called to adopt.  It's a huge committment and you take on a lot of unknowns.  Children who are available for adoption have, most likely, experienced traumas that we can't even imagine.  However, God has still put that calling into my heart and while we have always planned to adopt when Paul retires from the military I think maybe we'll end up adopting at least one child at our next assignment.  We'll see.  I know God has our children all picked out for us.  I keep telling Paul he needs to stay in a few extra years and retire as a Lt Col because I want a big family and I want to adopt at least 4 kids.  haha

I wanted to take an opportunity to share a young boy's journey and hope for a family.  He needs a very special family.  Maybe someone will read this blog and know in their heart that they are his forever family.  Or maybe someone who reads this blog will share his story with his forever family.  You never know.  God moves in mysterious ways for sure. 

No Greater Joy Mom is one of my favorite adoption blogs.  This family is amazing.  I don't know them and I love them.  She recently blogged about Zack, a young man who desperately wants a forever family and to be reunited with his soul sister who was adopted by an American family. 

I will warn you that his story brought tears to my eyes, but I hope you'll read it and pass it on.  You never know.  You just never know.
