Hazel and I agreed that we’d take the advocacy for adoption to the next level. Hazel sent various emails to various individuals of whom we thought could help us make people more aware of the state of adoption in our country. At the same time I began to think whether this mission of ours is something I am passionate about. Is it something I’d die for? Or is it some sort of trend in my life? But when I think about our mandate to make disciples through adoption, then advocating about it becomes more meaningful.

I am praying for a mission that we can pursue on and at the same time make ends meet. It is very difficult to become an idealist in a 3rd world country. I’ve known many people in our country who died unreasonably younger and poorer for fighting for their ideals. And yet there’s almost no one to carry on their legacy. Yes there will be consequences to our goals. In fact, we’re already experiencing some of them. And for months we’ve shed countless tears for it. We, as many idealists, may become fools in the eyes of many. But our goal is not to please men but God.
