He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him. Psalm 126:6

For Porter

Sometimes I complain that life isn't fair.  Really, I have nothing to gripe about.  I have a family that loves me, plenty to eat, and meaningful work to occupy my time.  Today, I'm going to tell you about a little fellow who has reason to complain, who has none of those things. 

His name is Porter.




Isn't he a doll?  He is an orphan and was recently moved out of the only home he's ever known, his babyhouse, into a mental institution.  His crime?  Being HIV+. 





A family who met him while adopting another child says that he's a delightful 6 year old.  He deserves so much better than a life of monotony and neglect. 






Could you be his family?  I know HIV still scares us here sometimes, but it is a much more managable disease than it used to be.  All Porter needs is a chance.  For more info and parent support on adopting and raising a child with HIV, please visit http://www.projecthopeful.org/

Here are other blogs which are featuring Porter today:
