Old Prejudices
I used to get MAD about how people were ignoring the plight of children in the US while spending thousands of dollars on international adoptions. Then, it was brought to my attention that just like spiritual gifts, different people are called to do different things. It's the same with adoption. (Although I have to say that I still have a bit of a problem with people who are only out for the "healthy white infant."
