There are kids all over the world that need adoption. It's not a bad thing to adopt a little girl from a country that so devalues girls that people abandon and murder girls in the hopes of having a boy.
I did. My wife gave birth to two of them. I wanted to demonstrate Christ's love to someone who was different than me. Christ loved me, and I was very different than him. He never sinned, and I was his enemy. Yet he sacrificed himself on my behalf and made me part of his family. I felt compelled to demonstrate the same kind of love for a little girl who is now my daughter. I'd die for her, and I'd fight you over her.

"I am a Christian, and I will remain a Christian."

You're talking about someone's child, don't you realize that? This isn't some political nonsense. You're being extremely rude and out of line. So, SHUT THE F UP!
More with the kill myself talk? Your act is old, Burger.
Hmm... I disagree. Sometimes there are signs that are often written off as coincidence.
We adopted a little girl from China. Our church conducted a yard sale from one of our members houses. The contributions from the yard sale paid the cost of one of our applications to the federal government ($895 or so) plus $1.78. This was a great encouragement for us that we were doing exactly what God wanted us to do.
Amen!
My wife and I have been married 6 years and we have always felt called to adopt to grow our family. We wanted to have our own kids first and then adopt later. We tried for two years our way and then started to pray about it and thought maybe we are called to adopt first and then have our own. We started the adoption process last September and was approved in January. We chose domestic and was picked by a birth mom in March and our first will be born in June. We were told the average wait time is 2 years, but our official wait time will be 6 months. We needed to have around $19,000 to cover the expenses. We raised ALL of it in just 8 months.
Right after we were picked by the birth mom we found out that my wife and I were expecting as well. She is due in December. Yes, we are still going through with the adoption. If we would have found out that my wife was pregnant prior to us getting picked by the birth mom, we would have been put on hold for 1 year by our agency.
We cant explain how we raised close to $19k in that short of time. We cant explain why we were picked so quickly by a birth mom. We cant explain how my wife was able to conceive after trying every drug possible for a year to help. Everything happens for a reason. We finally turned more of our attention in trusting in God's timing and doing something we were called to do. One may think it was just a coincidence, but it wasn't. God has had His hands all over this from the beginning.
Sorry for the lengthy post.
Well, its true. If I let all the bullying and rejection get to me, I would of ended things long ago.
Bullying victims either forgive or act bitter. Being nice doesn't pay, so I'll act bitter.
Have you ever had anyone tell you that your ugly, retarded, or that you don't deserve to live? It hurts when ya hear it.
