orphans

There are many differences between domestic adoption and international adoption. The one I am feeling the most right now is that in domestic adoptions you have to wait for a birth mother to choose you (usually). In international adoption, you choose the child.

Waiting to be chosen is very difficult. I can't help but think/worry that we may never be chosen. When I think this, I also think, this is the same way a child in an orphanage waiting to be chosen must feel.

I am an orphan too.
