I will check out that documentary. It’s scary how people can do such crazy things when they are desperate or addicted.

Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for reading.

Hey Brittany,

Thanks for your thoughtful response and for the encouragement. I do believe that God is sovereign and that He is good. Perhaps I will understand someday why this happened but most likely not. Either way, I’ll continue to trust God and eventually my family and I will put everything on the line for adoption once again. I know God is doing something.

In the documentary “Born into Brothels” I mentioned earlier, one of the little girls ends up getting into a school, her only opportunity to escape prostitution… but then her mom pulled her out three days later because she “couldn’t bear to be without her.” The selfishness nearly blinded me with rage… and it was not even a child I was personally trying to give a better life. I will pray for your girl, wherever she is, that the kindness of this American family that loved God will not be poisoned for her and that somehow, something for her will be changed. I have to trust that God can do all things… My heart breaks for your family… and for her. God be with you.

can’t help but to be touched by your story. As a fellow youth minister I
sometimes feel like people think nothing bad, or unfortunate happens to
us. We are always happy, we always have a joke to lighten the mood and
most of all we always know exactly what God is asking from us. I am almost afraid to be confused, or uncertainty about God’s plan in any aspect of my life.
The response to your story that I have been trained to give is something
like “God has something better in store for you, there is a reason it
didn’t work.” Quite frankly that response is crap some times. It doesn’t
make you feel better it just makes you angry. How the heck can there be
something “better” than adopting and saving a child’s life. Part of me
wants to say that I hope and pray that the situation will magically turn
around for the good just like it magically turned toward the bad. But
while God works in surprises, He is not magical, He is very logical
whether we like it or not. So the point of this terrible long comment is
I feel yea brother, as my brother in Christ and ministry, I feel yea.
Thank you for sharing your heart with us, it makes me feel like I am
doing something right when I know I am not alone. Thanks for all you
do.
