One cannot assume they know a motive without hearing it directly from another. Many, many people around here are very involved in adoption to levels that you cannot know or imagine--race not even being a consideration. God uses all sorts of things to direct each of us, and if this adoption is His will for ya'll, He will provide a way.Deidre Bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363034244018324711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243060548176996286.post-79463415503600411462009-12-14T20:30:51.394-05:002009-12-14T20:30:51.394-05:00Hey, I just came across your blog today.

I can imagine how discouraged you are feeling, but God called you to this and He will provide a way. I have seen it time and time again.

My husband and I ...I can totally know how you feel. My husband and I are uable to have kids so we decided to adopt...the ONLY way for us to have a family. We added a donate button almost 3 months ago to our blog and not one penny has been donated. We have no idea what we are doing wrong. We are just a average couple living in a 35 year old home. I hope GOD will show us how we will pay for all of this.....so, I want you to know I feel your sadness. I'll pray for both of us that some thoughtful people will help us out. Hang in there. God Bless.<br /><br />Karen<br />www.hernkekid.blogspot.comKaren & Brad Hernkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10880413103840488414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243060548176996286.post-82892972585800642272009-12-10T16:50:37.536-05:002009-12-10T16:50:37.536-05:00i made a donation and posted a link to your blog o...i made a donation and posted a link to your blog on my facebook.

You feel alone, abandoned... even orphaned! I pray that God comforts your hearts and blesses your family financially so that you can adopt:)Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/01490276843572474647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243060548176996286.post-29462002685359801832009-12-10T15:07:28.293-05:002009-12-10T15:07:28.293-05:00Wow, that is so discouraging.

Most of the people around us are very supportive or maybe some just keep their mouth closed. You are right, Atlanta does not seem to be a popular place to adopt African children, but God has begun to work. I hear of more and more people that are trusting him and developing a heart for adoption and Africa. I will definitely be praying for you to trust God during this time. I will also be praying that the support comes in fast!! God wants you to find joy in the hard times and rest in him!! You are not alone in this :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321669455326392110noreply@blogger.com
