Counting Snowmen teach numbers 1 to 10. After counting to 10, the snowmen count down from 10 to Zero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUvtAlDMEqk
I was telling my teacher/friend/bro/person yesterday about how I'd pretty much decided that I want to adopt my future children rather than have them myself. He was pretty adamant that it would be the wrong choice.
My thinking is that there are already plenty of children in the US--and still more to be born--who are lovely and full of potential but unfortunately are without parents. Why should I make more people to share our limited resources when I could adopt a child who's already here and do my best to provide a loving and supportive home for him/her? A lot of children who have no choice but to go through the foster system live terrible lives before even reaching the age of 18, and I think that I could save a child from the damage that comes from that kind of unstable life.
He told me that by the time a child was 10 years old (the age I was thinking of) he/she would be too damaged to accommodate and that I should just leave any kid that old in the system to stick it out. That it would be futile and possibly dangerous to try and stave off the negative effects of being orphaned/abandoned as so many children have been and will be. Then he said that any child of mine would be beautiful and smart and he looks forward to meeting my children in the future, provided they're my children.
I disagree with him so thoroughly, but I know he's only saying what he believes to be the best for me. Aside from the adoption stuff, it was a really nice talk. I just wish he could see that it's the job of a society to care for all of its children and not just the ones that share a familial resemblance.
Take a moment....
Please...If you have a younger brother or sister...whether they are in elementary school or not.....take a moment to be grateful they are alive today, especially after the Connecticut Elementary School Shooting....
....I almost broke down crying trying to imagine my 8 year old little sister being caught up in something like that...and it breaks my heart something tragic like this happened...
....take time to pray for the children, staff and their families caught up in this tragedy...
