I wonder what a 12 year old thinks about the last night she spends in an orphanage? After spending the last 7 years of her life in a room with 15 other girls what must it feel like to know you are leaving for good and you will have a room of your own and a mom and dad and 4 brothers to love you? Our facilitator told me that Alina was the most excited child she had ever seen yesterday as she waited for us to come. She wouldn't go to school and she just keep asking when we were coming. Today she wants to go to school (ends at noon) and say goodbye to everybody and I will get her at 1:00. It will be sad for her to say goodbye to her friends and caregivers but I know she has dreamed and prayed for this day for 7 years-a family of her own. God has such a heart for these unwanted children. A Heart of Adoption-He gives us the right to be called children of God through adoption.
Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God-children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husbands will, but born of God. John 1:12-13
