Adopting a kid from Africa has always been something that interests me. I think I first got the idea in my head when I was 19 and it's still there. We clearly haven't pursued this avenue yet but during during the past 2 months I keep running into people who have adopted or are planning to adopt soon. This morning the magazine I picked up to read while working out had an article about adoption featuring this organization.

Can you believe the picture of that house?
I'll let you know if this desire I have ever moves further than an idea in my head. For now I will just be praying for the poor poor babies living in filth.
Below is a link to an abcnews video about the current famine in Africa. Amazing how an entire continent can be suffering and it barely makes the news while our budget balance issues upsets everyone. Makes me a little crazy!

That video makes our daily troubles seem pretty insignificant doesn't it?

Ann...I have to tell you that the famine in East Africa has been weighing heavily on my heart this week as well. We are making a donation sometime this weekend. I just need to figure out where I'll donate.
You are such a fabulous mom...please know that if you do pursue adoption, whether domestic or international, I would be happy to be one of your references!! I can also give you some of the inside scoop on the home study process since I used to conduct them! :) Hugs!
