Why Adopt? Part I

I was sitting down to work on an entry I've been intending to write since the start of this blog last fall titled "Why Adopt?", when I happened upon a trailer my cousin had posted on my facebook page a month ago (Thanks Katie!), and saw someone else post it too, as clearly news about it is spreading.  So I called for Adam and we watched it together.

First we nodded, then gasped, then cried (well, I cried - he was touched too). 

Wow.  You have got to watch this trailer. 

There is quite a buzz going on about this new documentary called "STUCK" - about international adoptions, the urgent needs of orphans, and the problematic length and financial challenge of it all.

Please take a moment and watch the trailer by clicking on the video below.  It'll only take a minute.  A picture is worth a thousand words, and all it takes is the faces of these children to answer the question, "Why Adopt?"

To watch the film in its entirety, go here: http://buy.stuckdocumentary.com/ (Cost: $12.99)

Amazing, right?  What do you think?

What if the number of international (AND domestic) adoptions increased over the next 5 years instead of decreased?

As I've been blogging, a few people have asked questions about how it works or how to find posts or comment on an entry, so here are a few answers for you....

To Comment: Click on the link at the bottom of a blog entry that says "NO COMMENTS:" or "2 COMMENTS" and choose "Anonymous" for your identity if you do not have a blog or one of the accounts featured, but by all means, please let me know who you are! Otherwise, your comment will be quite mysterious.  I love comments! I love to hear your thoughts! And if you have any questions for us or about adoption in general, please let us know.  Its a joy to share and we hope to be an encouragement to others.

Hmm....I think that's all.  I'll post a "Why Adopt? Part II" entry about our specific journey soon.  I just had to share about "STUCK" with you, because the moment the trailer finished, I felt like it answered the question.
