What We've Learned Through Resettlement

We've learned to be weary of individuals/organizations that say a child is 'adoptable' because the family is 'too poor'.  

We've learned to challenge our fears and assumptions of families.  To forgive the past and honor the fact that God chose these families for these children. We've seen God do really cool things with second chances.

We've learned  the strength of the extended family in Uganda. We've learned that the absence of Mom and Dad alone does not make a child adoptable.

We've learned that, despite what many will tell you, there are single Fathers here who desire to raise their children.

We've learned a lot about the transformation kids make from institutions to being back home with their families.

We've learned that what we consider a "better life" for a child has compromised our priorities in 'orphan care' here.
