The Messy and the Miraculous

Giggles tumble in from the kitchen where our children are gathered. Deep belly laughter interupts the momentary quiet of the evening. Sophia has just gotten home from ballet, her long hair hangs in a curtain down her back, Evangeline is sitting on a stool in pajamas preparing a late night snack, and Steven is still […] Read more…

The Time Has Come

Precious Jeremiah will turn fourteen on January 3rd. Once a child turns fourteen in China, they can no longer be adopted. The life that awaits children that are not adopted is often wrought with a lifetime of horrific abuse, loneliness and neglect. 
Travel dates have been set for the Feltes family to fly to China on […] Read more…

Becoming

I stand in my kitchen, filled to overflowing with the clamor of children. Victoria has brought Rita’s water ice home from work today, and the joy and excitement of her gift to her siblings is palpable. 
My feet and legs feel heavy and tired, my back is aching, and my hands move methodically, robotically, clearing the […] Read more…

I Have a Dream Too

I, too, have a dream, Dr. Martin Luther King. 
I have a dream that someday every orphan will have a family. 
  
I have a dream that the sex slave industry will be exposed and brought into the light, and abolished, forever. 
I have a dream that every child would cease to be vulnerable to the darkest evil in […] Read more…

Cherished

It was one of those long days. 
It was the kind of day mothers everywhere have experienced.
It was a day when sleep had eluded me, when I’d spent the sleepless hours praying about the burdens that weighed too heavily on my heart, when the problems felt like mountains before me and so unequally matched to my […] Read more…
