Family

November is National Adoption Awareness month!

As an adopted child, having family members who are adopted children, and seeing how adoption has blessed so many in my life...I truly believe in the efforts families put forth to take in a child or children. So, "naturally," ; ) I found this article very interesting.

In light of recent high profile international child adoptions by celebrities like Madonna, The Tennessean newspaper in Nashville asked Steven Curtis Chapman about his thoughts on the sometimes controversial situations.

Here's what he had to say...

“The bottom line is, there 145 million estimated orphans in the world (and) anytime a celebrity turns their focus to that, I think good comes from it,” he said. “It opens up more people to consider the fact that, ‘Wow, there are a lot of children in the world who don’t have families’ . . . If celebrities are going to use their celebrity for that, I’m going to cheer on the good and raise the flag if there are questionable issues.”
