I thought of my daughter getting older in a country that I love, but a country that will harshly judge her because of a disease in her blood. Then I thought of those in this country who will do the same.
God did we do the right thing being so open about her HIV?
And God clearly answered me- those who do not love her because of her HIV cannot love.
WOW! It's that simple! If you cannot love my daughter because of a disease in her blood, or the color of her skin, or because she was adopted into my family, it is only because YOU CANNOT LOVE.
If you are afraid of HIV after you have been educated about it, it is because you do not know LOVE. Perfect love drives out ALL fear.
LOVE is a person, LOVE is God, God is LOVE!

I love Miss B fiercely. Auntie Em will take care of any one I need to!!xoxo
I think what you have done & what you will continue to do are so Christlike. You both are a wonderful example of love & charity. Not everyone can do the things you do or love the way you can but I think you are right that God has called you to do this. Thank you for listening & helping one of God's children have a chance to learn of Him. XOXO!
Lyndsay,
My husband and I are lying here in bed reading your post and watching your video....WOW! Our hearts are full of joy as we hear you and your husband share your hearts. We are so thankful for your willingness to step out in faith and adopt a child that is HIV+. We look forward to watching your story unfold! If I can do anything to help you PLEASE let me know!
til they are all fed,
Suzanne
