Some Very Special Birthdays

This article by Russell Moore brought tears to my eyes as I contemplated the incredible life-changing effects of adoption. Over the years, I have had the privilege of watching many families from our church adopt children from the United States and abroad. It has been a joy to see these children--once in orphanages or foster care--placed in families where they are loved, cared for, and most importantly where they hear the gospel. One happens to be my babysitter who was born 13 year ago today--Happy Birthday Amanda!

So, may "Moore Than a Birthday" encourage all of you who have adopted or who are in the process of adopting. For the rest of us, well, it might just put that desire in our hearts.
