“It’s something that we will do. Because we feel called to do it. One time, one child.”
One child, turned into two, which has now turned into three.
Jason and Amy traveled to Eastern Europe last fall to adopt two daughters. It was the first time they had seen an orphanage and what they saw became deeply impacting and life changing. No one can ever get over what they see while there. In the midst of that sadness, they saw children with worth. When the two girls came home, they were greeted by six doting siblings who shower them with unending love and praise. And they don’t notice the differences. And the sisters are flourishing. After they were shown the pictures and told the stories, the selfless children were the ones who demanded to do more. They were willing to sell toys, give up space, make room for another child. The adoption has been life changing to everyone involved.
And then Jason and Amy showed the children a picture of Mackenzie. Her smile is beautiful and her eyes are happy. She is the older sister they have been waiting for.
