Manni,
I vaguely looked into Haiti, Ethopia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, but my heart is not there. I believe adoption is a gift from God, like being a missionary. Some are called to be missionaries within their cities, communities, some are called to other parts of the US, and some are called to go to other parts of the world. I think adoption works the same way. I'm just going where I'm called, if God starts calling me to go to Liberia then I will.
Thank you for posting this topic because it really has me thinking about things in a whole new light. I hope I don't offend anyone, but why would I feel the need to help someone whose skin color is a little closer on the color scale as mine, yet not the person who is on the other end. As a Christian that's not what I'm called to do. I've never thought about this topic or rather the topic of helping others like this before. Man has taught us that we should look out for our own, but that's not God's teaching. He taught us that we should help everyone regardless of race. Just my thoughts.
