Memorable moment brought to you by Olivia

I have to share the sweet thing that Olivia said the other day. She was sitting on my lap viewing this blog. She wanted to view a couple of the videos that are below. After watching them she turned to me and said "Mom, do you think if I lived in an orphanage that someone would pick me to adopt?" WOW what wisdom from such a small child! With a tear in my eye I told her absolutely! At the same time it really made me think. How many mothers are watching their children from heaven saying "pick my child". As a mother our most instinctive response is to protect our children. When Olivia said this to me it really made me ponder the complexity of the problem in Africa with so many children saying "Pick Me!"
