Why We Want To Adopt

That's a very good question, especially when you consider that Rick is 44, I am 45, we have grown children in our life and have the freedom and flexibility to do anything we want with our lives.Goodness! We will even probably be grandparents in the next couple of years... so I know some of our friends and family are thinking... they must be nuts! What are they thinking? The truth is, we honestly and sincerely feel that this is what God wants us to do. A couple of years ago I would never have thought I would be seriously considering adoption. We have friends and family who have adopted. We have seen first hand how adoption can change lives for the better. We have witness first hand the joy and love these children can bring into a family. I've seen how good it has been for them to be given a permanent home and a forever family. It truly is the picture of the way God has adopted those of us who love His son and made us His children. It totally gives me a different perspective on how God feels about me.
