We have some good news to share, but right now I want to share an example of what is wrong with the world. More specifically, why Russia is so very concerned with the care of their children.
A 3 year old adopted boy from Russia was killed a couple of weeks ago. (Click here for story)
The international world has been very upset by Russia banning Americans from adopting, but I think some perspective needs to be put in place.
What restrictions would the USA and Canada put in place if our children were being adopted out of country?
I would want Canada to follow up on the children. I would want Canada to have a vested interest in the well-being of the children, no matter where they live. I would want to have the adoptive parents scrutinized to no end before allowing them to adopt.
Obviously there is no way to know what will happen in the future. But the incidences with Russian children do keep making headlines.
What we don't hear about is the good. And there is good. There is so much good. There is the type of good that warms your heart and restores your faith in humanity.
But, like any other situation in life, the bad stands out more.
So I ask you - how would you react if it were your country's children that kept making headlines in the worst ways?
Well, all we can do now is try our best to be a shining example of everything good. I invite you to do the same. We may not be perfect, but we can certainly try to balance out all the negative crap in the world.
