I was sitting here at the computer tonight and was on a popular adoption message board when I clicked on a video link about street children in Russia. As I was watching, Nastya walked up and started watching. Below is part of our conversation:
Nastya: Daddy, what is that little boy doing.
Daddy: He's sleeping baby (train station floor).
Nastya: Why doesn't he go home?
Daddy: He doesn't have a home baby.
New scene - 5 or 6 YO boy crying.
Nastya: Why is he crying daddy?
Daddy: Somebody just stole his clothes.
Nastya: He should go tell his momma.
Daddy: He doesn't have a momma.
Nastya: Daddy, we have to go get him and he can live with us. Daddy we have to go get him!
Daddy: Baby, I don't know where he is.
Nastya: But daddy...
Nastya then goes to get Dawn and makes me replay the video for them. She then told Dawn we have to go get those boys and girls that don't have a momma or a home.
My Nastya will be six next month, and she "gets it". She is wise beyond he years and I praise God that her memories of her early years are dim.
My greatest desire is that my children learn the love that Jesus Christ has for them and that they share that love with everyone around them. At six, Nastya is well on her way.
God Bless -

Amen! Praying for more people to be inspired and "get it"! Also, let us know when and where your next adoption journey is! ;)
So sad. Glad that your children understand the importance of needing a family and a place to call home.
I am so glad your kids "get it" and understand how important it is for children to have a family who loves them. You have done an amazing job with your children.
Compassion- your hurt in my heart. Yes, she DOES get it. May that soft heart never harden!
Hey, I am passing an award on to you. Hope you don't mind too much. It took me several days to figure out how to link on here. I still have the pictures that I want to email to you. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
