epiphany.




I have decided that I would love to adopt a baby from Haiti. I was watching the news and it showed a beautiful infant who had been made an orphan by the earthquake. I can’t profess the feelings that went through my mind when I saw that. I immediately began research online about the adoption process of a Haitian. Unfortunately, I do not fit the requirements. (one parent must be age 35, the parents must be married for a minimum of 10 years, the parents can't have kids together already, the parents must be financially stable, etc.) Its going to have to keep breaking my heart I guess. Maybe in a few years I can look into it more. In the future I would prefer to adopt an infant (of either sex) from an impoverished country. Someone who really needs me. I feel like this is my calling. I still do need to pray about it. but damn I wish I was older..

  1. ....and you know, by the time all of the 'true' orphans in Haiti are accounted for, I am sure the requirements will probably relax some!
