So much more work to do

I thought I would share some statistics I found on adoptions from Ethiopia by U.S. families.  While it is on the rise, it is still so small.

1999- 42
2000- 95
2001- 165
2002- 105
2003- 165
2004- 284
2005- 442
2006- 731
2007- 1254
2008- 1724

While this is a good trend, it makes me wonder why cant we do more.  So many millions of kids just wanting a mommy and a daddy.  What can you do?  Can you financially help another family?  Can you pray?  Can you encourage others?  Maybe, just maybe, God is calling you to adopt?  Just think about it please, for the sake of the children.
