You Know ...When...

You know you can make a difference when:
You recognize the need.

You know you can make a difference when:
You have a friend who has fostered or adopted and you think, "I could do that!"

You know you can make a difference when:
Your own 32 cent coffee is more appealing than the expensive gourmet coffee because you can save/give the difference to make a difference in the life of a child.

You know you can make a difference when:
Paying retail for clothes is out of the question because all you can think of is how some children have no clothes of their own.

You know you can make a difference when:
You are willing to take on an extra job to pay for your adoption or help somebody with theirs.

You know you can make a difference when:
You go through foster parent/adoptive parent training.

You know you can make a difference when:
You see beyond the immediate gratification of your wants/needs to the life altering reality you could give a child.

You know you can make a difference when:
You complete that mountain of paperwork to begin fostering or the adoption process.

You know you can make a difference when:
You get beyond your own comfort zone and open up your heart and life to a hurting child.

You know you can make a difference when:
You adjust your life to accommodate the special needs of a hurting child.

You know you can make a difference when:
YOU have welcomed the least of these into your HOME, your FAMILY, your LIFE, your HEART.  (it might not always be easy)

You know you have MADE a difference when:
The change you have made is in you and you will never be the same again.
