I am no longer around my Kate. Therefore, I have to write about my own life....by myself. I will still write in Kate n Kayla but I have to write about my own adventures somewhere else because it would be too depressing.
So here I go...yesterday I decided to adopt a child from China. I was all ready to set aside a savings account, when I looked up how much it really cost. Anybody have any guesses???
It's about $20,000 to $30,000 and can take from five to ten years. Which seems like a crazy amount right now! But maybe it won't be fifteen years from now if I become a millionaire. You can dream right!
You might be wondering what warmed the cockles of my heart...you might also be wondering why I'm even thinking about adoption when I'm not married. One of my favorite past times is to browse Netflix. Although I can never watch a movie all the way through, this particular documentary caught my eye. To sum the whole situation up....it made me cry. Which may or may not have directed my decision to adopt a child from a foreign country...
Look at those cute girls!
I love that these girls were given a chance to become part of a family. Also I love that Heavenly Father is watching all of His children. Even though these children are living in a horrible time, somehow Heavenly Father sends them hope. Without the bad we can't recognize the good. To live under such a terrible tyrant as Mao Zedong in some ways is a blessing because these girls can be adopted by parents that can take care of them. Yes, I know that the majority of these children don't get that luxury. That's why it's an issue that must be addressed. We must reach out to our fellowmen and get lost in the service of others.
So this was Day One of a new blog....hopefully I'll actually get some followers :)
