- Summary:
The challenges posed by unwed motherhood, abandoned babies, and orphans are not distant concerns—they are issues that touch all of us. For those of us who were nurtured with abundant love and unwavering care, surely we can find it within ourselves to extend that same love to one more child in need. While concerns about the costs of education and child-rearing are understandable, let us reflect on the countless parents who have courageously raised five or even six children with commitment and grace. Moreover, let us consider the kind of society we aspire to build—one composed of individuals shaped by the love and stability of a nurturing home. Could we not embrace the opportunity to adopt one more child and share our love with them?
