T4adoption, day one

Today has been quite the day. Although I feel as if I've been crying all day long. You know that emotional exhaustion?
We've been sitting in our hotel room for quite sometime, just silently proccessing. I think my tendency is to get overwhelmed, grieved, hopeless.
But there is hope, even though it seems bleak. The church, we are commanded to fix this, it is the definition of our religion. I hope to see the church, globally, begin to care for orphans in a true bilical sense. The church is our only hope. No organization can do it. Just a god breathed organism, the one we call the church, and that is a little scary right now. But we can no longer continue to cut off the hands and feet of local believers in the name of organizations and continue to believe that our "pay money, pray for them, and stay away from them" methods are being effective. Every believer must be mobilized.

Wow.
Heavy.
Exciting stuff.
