Praying Daily

Adoption is one of the most beautiful and God honoring things a family can do.  To take in an orphan and give them a loving family is something that I believe the Bible encourages (James 1:27).  It takes a lot of courage and faith for a family to raise a child who was not theirs, and love that child as if it was born from their own wombs.   On the surface it looks easy.  But Every adoption has it's struggles.  We have had our own set of struggles. Although Sam will most likely not have RAD,  I know there will be obstacles in the future.  Especially when it comes to helping our little boy deal with the loss and grief that he will eventually feel.



Recently I have been visiting numerous adoption blogs that deal with RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) and their adopted children.  My heart hurts for those families and for their children who are living with it. It is NOT an easy journey for these families.  These children may have new wonderful families who love them with all of their hearts, but the trauma they had to face before their adoption has caused damage.

There are families dealing with RAD on a daily basis. Wonderful Christian families who want the best for their adopted children but are stuck and just trying to get by and do the best they can.  They are constantly researching and reading books on the issue.  They are up to their necks in therapeutic parenting techniques.  These families need our support, encouragement, and committed prayers.

Please know that I am praying for you all daily! Praying for wisdom for the parents and healing for the children.  I am confident that God can give you all the strength you need to raise these children, and the wisdom to gain their hearts.

Here is a small list of blogs that I have been following.
