seoul korea---my birthplace. this afternoon i spent a few hours googling this city...and googling adoption videos. i know that sounds weird. but i spent about an hour on youtube alone watching different people's adoption stories (from the adoptive parents' perspective). the joy that fills the parents' faces when they get to first hold their child is something that is indescribable. this video i'm posting the link of i found on youtube...i cried and cried and cried. not only is this something that is close to my heart, that my bro and i are adopted, but it is something that totally sheds light on the Gospel of Jesus and of the hope we have in being adopted into His family and inheritance...the joy Jesus had when He died for us and brought us into His home is something we can't even fathom. i love this video...i advise EVERYONE to watch it, you may want to fast forward to like a minute and a half into it...the first part is just kindof an explanation of the journey they're on to korea to go and get their new child and bring him home. and they go to the foster home, receive a letter from the foster mom, and then they leave with their new baby...and the hardest thing it seemed for them was saying goodbye, especially the foster mom. she is crying. ahhhh. so powerful. and i really want to go to korea and go to an orphanage there called isaac home...google it if you get a chance.
