Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr Day. While I've studied in history class about him & what he stood for, I don't know if I ever took the time to realize what his movement back in in 1963 would mean to my life and my family. I truly believe that without the civil rights movement that he started, transracial adoption would not be as accepted as it is today. It would not be okay for a white family to adopt a black child. I can't even think about not having Charlie in our lives. He is our son, grandson, brother, nephew & cousin. He is not defined by the color of skin. He is a child of God just like every person on this earth.
"I have a dream . . . that one day little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sister and brothers." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The dream is alive, Dr. King
Only By God's Grace-"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act"-Proverbs 24:12
