Great video and orphan reality

The number 60 for our fundraiser is now gone. Here is a video that has been shared on Facebook for the last week. For those who are unfamiliar with international adoption this video may not hit home, but to those who have seen and experienced it know how BEAUTIFUL this woman is. On the plane when we came home from Taiwan we talked to a Utah woman who has lived in China and Japan for the last 7 years and she told us a little about the women there who have babies out of wedlock and how their families do not support their decisions if they decide to keep their baby. They are told that no man will ever want them, they will never be able to marry, and it does not matter the circumstances. Having an unplanned pregnancy or delivering a baby with disabilities is hard on the mothers because they have no support from the father, family, friends or society so they risk mandatory 5 years in prison if caught and they abandon their babies. These babies are left at parks, bus stops, intersections, near rivers, bathrooms and the lucky ones are left in medical clinics. She said these women do not have any options if they can't afford to raise the child on their own. Since we have been involved in international adoption we hear about these children and see profiles that tell about how the baby has come into the adoption situation. I have seen some profiles where older children (6 years+) with disabilities were found roaming the streets. Some babies come with a note telling their story, some are very young moms (12 years old)and some have been abused or raped that caused pregnancy. There are 147 million orphans in the world, they all have a story some stories are known like Isaacs and some are not known like Leannes. The cost of adoption prevented us from adopting when we were younger and it prevents many many many other people from adopting too. I still don't know how we afforded Isaacs adoption, we were very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends who helped with some of the cost, we received a grant from Reeces Rainbow and one from Gift of Adoption Fund that helped tremendously, we also worked hard and our kids even helped out with a paper route. We are taking a leap of faith again with Leanne and we know in our hearts if we do the right thing and she belongs in our family things will work out again in the end. Every child deserves to be showered with hugs and kisses, and feel the love and warmth of a family. We have felt very blessed to have Isaac in our family and we want to thank everyone who helped him come home and THANK YOU to everyone who is helping Leanne come home too.
