Many Have Asked Us Why

Many people tell us that we have 3 beautiful children and that is enough.

Many people tell us that we can't save them all.

Many people tell us that adopting is too hard or that they could never do that.

Many people tell us that the cost is too high, too much.

To all those, we say read the story of the Starfish:

Two friends were walking along the beach shortly after the tide had receded. The beach was littered with thousands of starfish that were drying in the afternoon sun. As the two strolled along, one of them bent down and picked up a starfish and carefully tossed it back into the ocean. He did this continuously as the two conversed. The stretch of beach was long. They could hardly walk without the man bending down, every other step, and rescuing a poor starfish. As they continued, the one observing this finally asked “Why are you throwing these starfish back into the water? You can’t really hope to save them all?” The other friend smiled and bent down to gather another starfish into his hand. He looked at his close friend and held up the little starfish and replied (as he tossed it back into the ocean)………..“It matters to this one.”

While I sit comfortably in my warm house, with comfortable clothes, a full belly, I cannot help to think of those who have none of these.

The higher cost is a life unsaved, unadopted, unchanged and even death.
The higher cost is to do nothing.
Even if I can only do what I can do, I will have done more than nothing.
I will do something.

"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety­nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?" Luke 15:4

Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:17
