I've always had a heart for adoption. If I could I'd adopt hundreds of kids so they'd all have a family and be loved. I usually joke that I want to adopt a kid from every nation and create my own united nations of children, and this is how I will bring about world peace. I've known for a long time that one of my life goals is to adopt, I just can't do that yet. Don't get me wrong, if someone called me today and asked me if I wanted to adopt a kid tomorrow you better believe I'd figure out away to make it happen, even though I in no way feel ready for that. Its just not my timing yet.

As I watch families finally getting their kids that they've been in the process of adopting for years from Haiti today/last night, there is a tug in my heart that some day I will get to bring my kid home from somewhere. I see the emotions in all of their faces as they experience so many firsts so quickly as a family. I can't imagine what those kids have been through in the past week, but I am so thankful they are in the states and with their families.

All week, I see all the devastation in Haiti, and all I can think about are all of the kids who weren't orphans a week ago, but are now. I think of what this past week has been for me and I think of what its been for them and my heart just breaks.
