Adoption

The Steven Curtis Chapman music video that we watched in class really got me thinking. I have known for a long time that I want to adopt when the time is right. I want to adopt one child and have a few of my own. I think it will be a huge challenge in my life and my husband's life, but I know that it is what is right and what I want to do. I want to provide a loving and safe home for a child that would have no chance of a life like that. There are so many families in America that have the money and right family for adoption, but people think it is too hard. I think that is selfish almost to only have your own kids when there are millions of starving, homeless, neglected, abused kids in our world already.

I also liked that music video! The other day I was watching CMT and found this music video by Rodney Carrington - If I'm the Only One. It is also about adoption. The video is a little ridiculous at times, but the last few minutes explains everything. Here is the link:
