Which Way Do We Go?
You have to have been asked ( :
Natural Child: Any child who is not artificial.
Real Parent: Any parent who is not imaginary.
Your Own Child: Any child who is not someone else's child.
Adopted Child: A natural child, with a real parent, who is all my own.--- Rita Laws, PhD
I Love You

John Piper quote
"The pain and pleasures of parenting are multiplied with every child we embrace-at whatever age and by whatever means... Jesus does not call us to maximize our securities and comforts here. He said, 'Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.' The short-term risks of adoption are huge. The long-term risks of love are zero. God will make all grace abound for every day's demand. Nothing is impossible with Him. There will be no regrets for parents who love in the power of Chirst." (as quoted in Launching an Orphans Ministry in Your Church)

Our Prayer for Josie An
"But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You. For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield."
-Psalm 5:11-12
