Haiti story on the news last night about children being adopted and saved. Very heart warming story about a couple of children who have lived without, and now have a bright future. Right after the news reports that in Colorado ALONE there are between 600-800 children in the foster care system. 600-800 CHILDREN!!!! Maybe there needs to be a little bit more focused on these kids....perhaps there need to be more commercials, or some celebrity can adopt one like a puppy and it will be the "NEW" thing to do. Maybe I am a little sensitive to this subject, because CM spent most of his childhood going from foster home to foster home. I hear the stories and see the hardness in his eyes, while his are not as bad as others they are still gut wrenching. Why don't we feel the need to save these children like we do the rest of the world??? I am not saying that we shouldn't adopt out of the United States, and yes I DO realize that it is possibly easier to adopt from another country than it is here. If we can dig up 100 million dollars to send to Haiti, possibly we can find another 100 million for our children here in the States??
The ending quote from a very wise man...and the reason why he won my heart??? (referring to the 600-800 children)

I think ALL children should be saved.
Its so said because they have no one to help them.
there are so many children, everwhere, who do not know the secure love of a family... it breaks my heart every day...
