A Loving Option

November is National Adoption Month. I know, I know, it's always some special month/week/day for one cause or ten. It would be difficult to argue, however, against the merits of adoption. I mean, who doesn't want children to be raised by dedicated parents, in loving homes, embraced by supportive extended families?

I am not adopted. My children were not adopted (though I occasionally entertain threats of putting them up for adoption... I'm kidding... I think.) We never say never, because only God knows the full and right plan for our family. However, we are blessed by plenty of adoptive families in our lives, and we are proud to be able to love on their children. Plus, this:

Something else for your thoughts and your prayers.
