Head over to the following two blogs but I must warn you: You will either be challenged deeply or very offended. Take about 10-15 minutes and read these women's blogs. They have the right to speak what they have spoken because they are living out their words. I have been following both of these blogs for a long time and they keep challenging me. I often wish I could write out the very things they have written but am scared I may offend someone. I guess if people are offended by the subject of adoption and orphan care then they are quite possibly walking in a different direction than what God asked of them. Take some time and let their words sink into you and see what God may be saying.

And they are only 31 years old! There is a documentary being filmed right now about their family. If you scroll down her blog to mid-May you can click on a link to watch a 3 minute preview of the documentary. Amazing!

http://twietconfetti.blogspot.com This is a blog by a woman who is an outspoken advocate for HIV adoption. She works tirelessly at bringing HIV children home and to their families. Again...she is living it, people!! Read her post from this past Wednesday. Their last daughter to arrive home was so near death they weren't sure she would survive the trip home. I remember praying for the darling girl for a few weeks. She is doing so well now! And dreaming about her future. They not only gave her her life back she now has a future to look forward to!
