Top 3...

...reasons NOT to adopt Sasha.

1. "Doesn't that cost a lot of money?"
  • "And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus" (Phillipians 4:19)
  • "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" (1 John 3:17)

2. "What about Trey and Luke?"
  • "Raise a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6)
  • "Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble." (1 Peter 3:8)
  • "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)
  • "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity" (Proverbs 17:17)

3. "Doesn't he have down syndrome?"
  • "The rich are not to give more than a half shekel and the poor are not to give less when you make the offering to the LORD to atone for your lives" (Exodus 30:15) - EVERY life is worth the same to God.
"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, "but we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?" (Proverbs 24:11,12)

We are called to love in ACTION and in truth. We hope you will stand with us.

Any other objections?
