The Un-Planned Parenthood

Tonight, we feel deeply conflicted and burdened.  As we are excitingly longing for the time when we will get the call about our 4th son to enter our family from Ethiopia, we are thrown off as we receive a call from an agency we spoke with over 2 years ago.  They asked if we were still pursuing adoption.  They innocently stated they are looking for families who will be non partial to race.

The past few weeks, the news feeds of our Christian Facebook pages are enraged over what Planned Parenthood is doing, to predominantly African American babies (yes, they are babies!).  And for good reason we should be enraged.  

But here we are...confused.  We see those who are or seem enraged, yet, is there action? Oh, may the Lord stir in our hearts and ignite the fire.  May we open our ears and hear his calling.

In this time, we do not even know what to ask you to pray for.  We are simply astonished by the need.  We also recognize the challenges of multi-racial families and the racial struggle our country continues to have.  We are unsure of what the future may bring for our family, but we are open to where ever God might direct us.  We pray that abortions stop. We pray for the moms and babies who need love, support, and Christ.  We pray that the church will be willing to link arms and earnestly seek God and His glory.

  Seriously.  Look at this guy.  

Through tears we want to beg people please, please choose life.
