"My Crazy Adoption" crazy mom vist-an-orphan-program

The new "crazy" in Adoptionland is the "crazy mom" who throws tradition/convention out the window, much like like a women's libber would throw out her restricting bra.

Follow traditional rules to orphan care?  Accept limits and restrictions as more and more prey pray for an increase in ICA numbers? via the new-world Orphan Crusade?

Hell no! 

The new Christian "must do" is the pet-the-orphan before final purchase program.... a new twist to the new-world-order Orphan Crusade, made possible by crazy women on a crazy mission.

BTW, this travel to pet an orphan program should not be confused with equally poorly conceived Host an Orphan, (and mess with a child's head), Program.  [More on THAT brain-child, at a later date...]

For now, let's focus on crazy radicals, thinking outside the traditional adoption box.  Yes, they are good news and great for a modern orphan-selling business that relies on the cute/sad factor that sells facilitates the trade of young orphans to the desperately bored and frustrated Americans.  No more asking, "What can we do next (to earn extra frequent flyer God-points)?"  That question has been answered:

Be part of a God-Inspired Adventure- this means doing something radical, out of the normal, daily routine we get stuck in as moms.  You get to see God work in others lives and in your own life on a mission trip.  Plan on something going really crazy- this is all part of the adventure.  I encourage you to super-size your joy and patience and understanding and compassion and affection on a mission trip.  If you have set expectations, I guarantee you will be turned upside down.  Leave your expectations at home and allow God to guide your steps through Uganda and Ethiopia.

Here’s what one mom shared- “as an adopting Mom I first thought, I’m already doing my part, I’m adopting an orphan! While talking to my husband, I couldn't’t stop crying because I was thinking about our baby. I kept asking, what if an American Mom was able to be in the orphanages everyday? What if we knew there were always volunteers through Visiting Orphans there to hold, feed and love our baby E? I know that my 14 days in Uganda and Ethiopia isn’t going to change the world BUT if Mom’s across our country would go and be present 365 days a year, it would change the lives of all the orphaned children.
July 19th isn’t really a “good time” for me to go on a Mission Trip. Who knows where we will be in the adoption, if we will have the money, or if I can emotionally handle it.  However, we pray, someone is there right now, regardless of the “right time” to hold our baby.” (Ashlie, mom to be)

If you are on the fence, trying to make every mommy detail perfect before you make the decision to go, I challenge you to jump down and pray forward.  Most of my readers are crazy moms, life will never be perfect for us to go on a mission trip, but I promise you that this trip will change your life.  Your family will benefit from you doing something soooo radical… you’ll be a crazier mom.

That's what Adoptionland needs, more crazier moms on a mission that not only ignores needing locals, but helps the transplantation of foreign children to American soil, (where we have our own abandoned adoptable "orphan" kids to care about).  Just think how the fun crazy natural consequence (a la the rules of supply and demand) will work.  More "crazy moms wanting more babies", demanding more young fresh orphans... why it almost ensures more babies/ young "orphans" will be made available for the child trade/pet-an-orphan mission that satisfies the desires of those who profit (make money) each time a foreign adoption-plan is made!

Hey... these mission-seekers... they don't stay at the same swanky hotels that regular pick-up poor orphan AP's stay at, do they?

If God is smiling and shining ALL over that breed of crazy, I can honestly understand why so many atheists exist.
