Look, I get it! I have been there and been the person that
voices all those questions and opinions in the nice confines of my own home
where only my husband is listening and typically he would just nod his head in
agreement with me. I would get on my soap box, literally speaking because most
of these conversations would happen in the bathroom, and preach on about how
people “should not adopt if they can’t pay for the adoption!”
Here it is and it kills me to admit the humiliating truth
BUT, I WAS WRONG! Not even a little bit
wrong but a whole lotta wrong.
Oh So WRONG and so thankful that I was. The Lord set me real
straight with a good ole dose of reality as he put me and our family in our
place as we became the adoptive parents desperately trying to bring our boys
home before they aged out in China. (“Age out” is the term used for children
who turn a “special age” and therefore no longer able to be adopted. That “special
age” for China is 14 years old!)
So there is this AMAZING family… The Northrop Family. They
are in that position of racing against time. Their son, Li, is about to turn 14
in March 2015. That is next month!! If
he ages out before they are able to travel to China and get him… they can’t get
him.
WE HAVE GOT TO HELP!! There is no denying it. Adoption is
expensive. But, if we all give a little… a little goes a long ways.
This is my cry for help, my plea to my friends and family and
to the greater friends and family of the cyber community. PLEASE, let’s join
together and GIVE!
Li, needs a family! He is 12,000 miles away in China, alone.
Li has a family here in America desperately trying to bring him home. #bringlihome
Did they get him home?
