Luke 12: 22-34 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. ... And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Below is a site where I found some interesting facts about children living in Romania. There are approximately between 3,000-5,000 children living on the streets in Romania, a third of which are in Lasi. Romania is a closed country to international adoption.

Truly sad that they disallow international adoption, especially when they are unable to provide for their children. Why let them all suffer when (at least) some of them could have a place to call home? Heartbreaking. I look forward to following your journey.

From what little I understand...it's about money. Isn't it always with the world?? Eastern Europe countries (ie. Romania) aim to "clean" up their country so they can qualify to be in the EU and have the euro as their currency--thereby boosting their economy--or putting more money in the pockets of those who already have the money? Anyway, I think a bunch of neglected orphans and international adoptions doesn't look so good in the EU...
