Orphans

Dear Aunt Alice,

A dear friend of mine here in Zambia told me today that she and her husband are going to try and adopt an orphan girl who attends our church. I pray that God works it all out - it would be a dream come true for my friend and it would mean that the little girl doesn't have to grow up in an orphanage.

The realities of orphans here simply breaks my heart. I can't help but hope and pray that one day, I'll be in a position to adopt and give them a home. For now, I must wait because I believe that it's better for a child to have two parents and I can't provide that at the moment. Maybe one day... =)
