What about all of the other orphans?

Tragically, many predict that there are millions upon millions orphaned children in China. This is why we are astounded to think that our little on was 1 of 300 children placed in foster care through Love Without Boundaries and even 1 of 30,000 children who were part of the government initiative that lead to her cleft lip repair. I don't know how God works and how to reconcile the number of hurting children in China and all over the world but I am certain of this... the day our little girl was born and the day she was abandoned, God knew she would be our little girl. We spent the last 2 1/2 years navigating through a brutal adoption process while all along God held this little one in His hands. We thank Him for all He did to take care of her along the way. We are ready to take over now=) As we ask God about all the other children who are suffering we feel Him returning the same question. What about all of the other children? What will you (Rob and Casie) do about them? Although the need is overwhelming, we are not overwhelmed. We now see how even a small commitment like child sponsorship can impact the life of a child. We will go to China and bring the little girl we dreamed about home but we know our journey will not nearly end there. We eagerly anticipate all God has in store.
