Some forgotten souls

So many people are looking for babies but there are thousands upon thousands of children waiting to be adopted who are unfortunately neglected by many who are looking for children.  This is especially true today when so many drug addicted and neglectful parents are losing their children to foster care and new laws make these children adoptable after only 18 months in many cases.  They’re not babies, no… often they may even have some behavior or emotional problems.  Who wouldn’t after being neglected for years.  But if you truly want a family, and are truly willing to open your hearts and homes lovingly…. then why not to a child who is a little older, or to siblings?  Or to a teenager who is a few short years from being college bound yet doomed to life in a group home because life has dealt them a raw deal.  Every county in every state has hundreds of children waiting for families.  Couldn’t you open your home to even just one?

Just thought I’d put in a word for those forgotten children whose parents may have neglected them, but the rest of us should not do the same.
