Why, oh why?


"Why? You already have four kids," you comment.
"Why? Adoption is expensive!"
"Aren't your kids enough?"
"You're REALLY going to have your hands full.
"Don't you know how hard it's going to be?"

The answer to all of these is, YES. Yes, we already have four kids. Four beautiful children that make us laugh, scream and cry, all in the same day! Yes, adoption is expensive, ESPECIALLY internationally. YES, our kids are "enough." They would be "enough" if there was just one of them. I am enough that Jesus would have died if I was the ONLY sinner in the world. YES we are really going to have our hands full, and our hearts overflowing. YES we know it's going to be HARD. It is hard anytime you bring a new family member in, it's a whole other dynamic, just like a new marriage. New opinions, new personalities, new experiences, etc. The Lord never promised our path would be easy, but He DID promise He would be there with us!

And you want to know WHY?

THIS is why.




Father of adoption
You've adopted me
Father of compassion
Here I am
Father of adoption
You've adopted me
Father of compassion
Here I am
Send me!

Jesus here's the orphan
He is moving heaven and earth
For little boys, little girls
We hear Jesus calling
Will you go and rescue them?
Little boys, little girls
Little do they know
Little do they know
We are coming
