Sam here... We talked about adoption on the show. I really feel God giving me a heart for kids that will be ours, but aren't yet. We bought this big house with empty rooms and I pray God fills every one of them with a child. Here's some of the amazing mail we've been getting from friends. It's totally blessing me. I'm really excited for what God will do with this.
"Just as the Lord adopts us into His heart and a fine example in the Bible of Moses being adopted into Pharaoh's home, we too can adopt children whether they are in our state or abroad, newborn or older, healthy or with special needs."
"The Spirit of adoption comes from God-it was his idea first! God will give you wisdom, seek HIM first rather than others! After laying your concerns, requests and hopes at the feet of Jesus, pick up whatever direction he gives you and don't look back... I guarantee you there is a child out there somewhere that fits and is waiting for a forever family."
"Every time my newly adopted son hugs me, tells me thank you or that he loves me, I am truly blessed!"
"Right now...we are absolutely loving our little Henri. However...I would consider adopting older children. Going to Ethiopia...those children were the ones I felt most drawn to...besides Henri. :) They are so kind, and sweet...and so appreciative of the life they are looking forward to. We have always wanted a big family...so maybe down the road we will adopt an older sibling set. I do think it is nice to have someone that shares early memories with you."
