Someone recently shared that she didn’t believe adoption was optional.  Her point wasn’t that every family should be required to adopt, but that for every orphan adoption isn’t an option. 

 

For millions never coming home to a dad and mom, never having someone to record graduations, supporting them through important decisions, or walk them down the aisle, is a part of life, but it isn’t an option.  The only option they see is that they need a family, no matter how young, old, poor or rich that family is, to a child it could be home.
