Adopting A New Mindset

Sanders, Adoption, Kids, Love

I was reminded this week of all I have to be grateful for, don't worry I'm not going to list it all here.

I saw a video of the Sanders family. Christina and Christopher met as teenagers, fell in love, got married and had five kids. Could be a perfect end of story, except Christina wanted to adopt another child. So they go through all the rigamaroll you need to, so you are eligible to adopt. The phone rings, its an emergency! Can they take in FOUR boys?

Sure, they say and they love these boys. Turns out the 4 boys have TWO sisters. They adopt them all. SIX kids in addition to the FIVE they already have. Just take that in. Eleven kids in 2017. And just to make it more interesting the biologicals are black and the adoptees are white. Fortunately for all of us, LOVE is colorblind.

There are innumerable good things happening in the world today, I plan on surrounding myself with them.

You have put a very large smile on my face on a day I needed one. I would love to know more about the family, and I only wish I had a van, BUT will definitely pass this story along.

Thanks so much.
The link goes to their gofundme page where you can donate any amount towards their van.
