Why Adopt China?

This was posted to AWAA's yahoo group and with her permission I am sharing this poem. This sums up this topic.

Adoption

God laid the desire in our hearts
From his wishes we will not depart.

Some say, "Why go so far away?
How much will you have to pay?
Aren't there children in the U.S.A.?"

Whether a child is from here or there
Isn't it our job to love and care?

Children are a priceless treasure
Blessings that we can not measure.

God wants us to hold them tight
Whether they are yellow, black or white.

We wish we could save them all
Sadly, we can only answer our call.

We must go to a foreign land
For us, this is what God commands.

Our China doll is waiting
There will be no hesitating.

We are sticking with our decision
Unless God makes a revision.

Cast your doubts and reservations aside
Come along and enjoy the ride.

All children should be taken in
Maybe this process you should begin.

God Bless, Christy from California

Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world. -James 1:27
