We get Broadcasts from our adoption agency usually a few times a week. They are full of children's storys and their sweet faces. It is always equal parts exciting and sad. I force tears back into my head by widening my eyes and holding my breath. I can not believe what some very innocent and beautiful children go through. It is hard to stomach. The excitement part is only before reading the tragedy that they have been through and thinking, could this be our child? We have had many reactions to our desire to foster/adopt. Most of them are supportive. Some have many many questions, which I welcome, but I know I don't have all the answers. All I know is we feel called to do something. I feel like this podcast explains it even better. http://austinstone.org/sermons/item/adopted-the-cost-of-love
