I have felt, for quite awhile now, that we should add to our family. A child that isn't deemed perfect, by some, but perfect in my eyes. Sometimes, things happen and we can't fufill all our hopes and dreams. It appears that this is the case, for my hope and dream of being a Mum to another. I figure, God knows my heart - trying to "make" my dream happen, isn't the answer.
I was reading the Love Without Boundaries blog today, Tiny was sitting on my lap. I opened the sponsorship page, and asked her which child she wanted to help. She chose this little boy:
I would point to others, she said, "no. this one." I asked Tiny what she wanted to name him, she said "Harry"... go figure! That's not really going to work, so I offered 4 other names... and Charlie was the winner!
Sometimes, our dreams don't work out exactly how we plan... but when the door of opportunity opens, to help someone less fortunate that yourself... you should take it. We pray that Charlie is placed into a wonderful foster family, that will love, nuture and care for him.

yes I know I am dumb! but had to reread this 4 times to work out if YOU were or werent!
But do think you are doing a GREAT thing
Shocking post. When I saw that post, I thought, "WHAT?????" and "Wow!!". And then I read your post and realized what you meant. Sometimes when you can't have what you want it is good to find an alternative that you can be happy with! So glad you found one. What a sweetheart!
this little boy will be so blessed to have your family supporting him! Charlie is a cutie for sure!
Love it! I think about adopting another all the time. So far, we are able to talk ourselves out of it fairly quickly...:) I love the idea of sponsoring a child. Thanks for sharing!
:) I know... my title is a little misleading isn't it!!! You'd never talk me out of doing it again! If hubs was on board... I'd be applying tomorrow!!
He is beautiful! A true blessing!
