Why Not?

When you share the story of a journey, like Adam and I have done here on this blog, people are often inspired to share in kind.

People start to feel as though they know you better, and often entrust their stories to you. Adam and I have been fortunate to hear the stories of those we know, and even some from people we don't.

"I've always wanted to adopt."

We hear these words often.

However, it's often quickly followed with the reason(s) why they haven't.

They couldn't afford it, they didn't get around to it, they got busy with the family they already have.

The sad truth is that adoption is, most often, thought to be a Plan B.

Plan B if you can't have your own children.
Plan B if you want to select the gender of your child.

Now, adoption isn't for everyone. This is true. But if it's something you've spent time thinking about it, it may be worth asking yourself one small question.

"Why not?"

Why not adopt?

That's it. Just . . . think about it.
