Re-entry Issues

Hello peoples!

So I know I did promise to blog, I just didn't think I would be blogging about this today. I'm sitting at my sisters volleyball camp. Now realize it's not unsusual for her to be the only Chinese kid out there but today I noticed there are a ton of blondies out there. And it's just still so weird to not be seeing Chinese children running around. And I'm sitting up in the bleachers with a blondie mama with her blondie daughter on the court, her younger blondie daughter with her, and her bitty blondie baby boy. Now granted, it would be a lie to say this little boy isn't precious. BUT so are all the sweeties I met last week. Like sweet baby boy, or the little emperor, or my bitty bus buddy. Those little ones were darling. And all my big boys are just as sweet. And I sit here wondering why blondie baby is valued over my boys? They are just as cute, just as sweet, and just as ornery.

My hearts desire is to see all those kiddos come home so they can be loved on just like blondie baby. Because right now blondie baby has a future wide open to him. He can be whoever he wants to be. He can do whatever he wants to do. He has a life. But my boys back in china are stuck. Their "future" is to live out their days in the facility. They can't have a job. They can't have an education. Their only out is a family. And when they hit 14 their days of hoping are over. Their window of  opportunity is closed.

And I can't stand it! It hurts! I haven't stopped crying for my babies since coming home. But I don't want to. I don't want to ever forget them. I will keep praying for families to come. For a child's future. I will pray for you to hear how amazing these kids are. I will pray for china. I will return next year to the orphanage to give more love and care that thy desperately need. Even if it will never be filled completely till they have a family. But what I really want to know is what will you do? Will you pray? Will you visit? Or will you bring a precious child home?

That's my view!
