My friends, adoption is redemption. It's costly,
exhausting, expensive, and outrageous. Buying back lives
costs so much. When God set out to redeem us, it killed Him."
~ Derek Loux(via Lifesong for Orphans)~
Today is Orphan Sunday. November is national adoption awareness month. We are not all called, personally, to adopt, but we are all called to participate in the care of orphans. How can we do that? Pray, give, go, support! Pray for those in the process, support them financially in their endeavor to adopt, follow the prompting on your heart and GO, or provide moral support for families who have adopted.
Hannah was placed into our arms in a stark government building. She is transforming before our eyes. Redemption that only God can accomplish.

It is remarkable to see how these precious ones change. And so, I thought you might want to see others. It isn't just Hannah who changes. I asked my friends in the adoption community to share their treasures with me...their photos of redemption. The response was overwhelming! I hope you enjoy....
Whether home a month, a year, or several years, adoption changes things. Adoption grants us a front row seat to His redemption at work. Beauty from ashes. What a gift!
