My Dh has an adopted brother & sister, as the mothers were pregnant in the village & had just been accepted to University.
Actually we pay for both to continue schooling now as we can afford to help them. The boy is 13 now & girl is 9, they are very much loved & very much part of our family!
I have no doubt in my mind that I could love anyone that needed/needs love!!!
I could easily & willingly even today would adopt any child of any rade & any health issues into my family.
I believe that when we return to Bali, we will probably look into either helping to raise a child or children from poorer villages & families...
It's just something I know we could do. We have looked into the orphaned children in Aceh from the Tsunami & made our wishes known to various authorities, I guess as my Dh is Indonesian we could give a child from Indonesia the cultural aspects, but I believe Love is just as important.
