Yesterday we visited 2 private orphanages run by some new friends of ours. What an encouragement it was for us. Both groups have a vision for helping children live full lives prior to adoption while also reaching out to the community. It was great for us to see good models of stewardship to these children and their country. All of the kids had special needs of some kind that were provided for in wonderful ways. It really reminded me of why we are here on this journey. Even after we get Lily and Kate, there is so much work to do for the other children. There were so many sweet faces longing for a family. It was heartbreaking and inspirational at the same time. I wish you all could have seen it. You would have loved to play in the playroom with all the kids! It was truly an honor for us to be there...a gift given to us at a perfect time.
